Modern computer systems have been built around the assumption that persistent storage is accessed via a slow, block-based interface. However, new byte-addressable, persistent memory technologies such ...

Non-volatile memories are not the main memory (RAM) in computers, tablets and smartphones. However, they can be the main memory in devices such as sensors, industrial controls, point-of-sale terminals ...

CPU performance increases have slowed to a crawl. NVM promises - and early benchmarks are remarkable - to turbocharge system performance. This is revolutionary tech. In January, Neal Christiansen, ...

Following are the different types of RAM and storage technologies used in electronic devices. They fall into two categories: volatile and non-volatile. Volatile chips lose their content the instant ...

We have published a number of stories lately that talk about the innovative uses of Intel’s 3D XPoint Optane persistent memory modules, which are a key component of the company’s “Cascade Lake” Xeon ...
