Virtual memory is a valuable concept in computer architecture that allows you to run large, sophisticated programs on a computer even if it has a relatively small amount of RAM. A computer with ...

Managing memory in the first PCs in the 1980s was a problem. The PC wound up with confusing memory allocations as its architecture was pushed, patched and expanded to meet the demand for larger ...

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 ...

A UK chip startup, VyperCore, says it has come up with a memory management scheme that does a software layer end-around and delivers as much as a 10x throughput improvement for high performance, ...

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.

A new technical paper titled “Hardware-based Heterogeneous Memory Management for Large Language Model Inference” was published by researchers at KAIST and Stanford University. “A large language model ...

A brain-inspired computer chip that could supercharge artificial intelligence (AI) by working faster with much less power has been developed by researchers at IBM in San Jose, California. Their ...
