Apple's Unified Memory Architecture first brought changes to the Mac with Apple Silicon M1 chips. There are clear architectural benefits for the hardware — and it is both good and bad for consumers.

San Jose, Calif. – There haven't been any design tools to date that allowed chip architects to analyze cache and memory efficiency and how they relate to dynamic power consumption. PowerEscape Inc. is ...

A Cache-Only Memory Architecture design (COMA) may be a sort of Cache-Coherent Non-Uniform Memory Access (CC- NUMA) design. not like in a very typical CC-NUMA design, in a COMA, each shared-memory ...

Computer memory and storage have always followed the Law of Closet Space. No matter how much you have, you shortly discover that it isn’t enough. So it’s good news that scientists in Switzerland are ...

Data prefetching has emerged as a critical approach to mitigate the performance bottlenecks imposed by memory access latencies in modern computer architectures. By predicting the data likely to be ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Craig S. Smith, Eye on AI host and former NYT writer, covers AI. Seven years and seven months ago, Google changed the world with ...
