The memory and storage hierarchy is a useful way of thinking about computer systems, and the dizzying array of memory options available to the system designer. Many different parameters characterize ...

Computer Memory Hierarchy Different types of memory perform and serve different purposes in the overall scheme of computer engineering. They are classified based on their purpose, speed ...

Architectures based on memory hierarchy address these issues, and what better source for the details of this approach than an excerpt on the subject from the seminal book on Computer Architecture by ...

In this video from DDN booth at SC18, Andrey Kudryavtsev from Intel presents: Reimagining the Data Centre Memory and Storage Hierarchy. "Intel Optane DC persistent memory represents a new class of ...

These are exciting times for the memory hierarchy in systems. New kinds of DRAM and non-volatile memories are becoming available to system architects to enhance the performance and responsiveness of ...

In the conventional computer memory hierarchy, NAND flash is located the furthest away from the central processing unit (CPU), and is known to be relatively cheap, slow, and dense compared to static ...

The announcement this week by Intel and Micron Technology of 3D XPoint memory, which will sit somewhere between DRAM and NAND flash in future systems, has everyone thinking about the architectural, ...

Racetrack Memory Will Make Your Computer Smaller, Better, Faster, Stronger. Meet the data storage technique of the near future. By Courtney Linder Published: May 11, 2020 3:44 PM EDT.

The new memory types also will impact the existing memory/storage hierarchy. Today’s hierarchy is fairly straightforward. SRAM is integrated into the processor for cache. DRAM is used for main memory.
