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 ...

Large-scale applications, such as generative AI, recommendation systems, big data, and HPC systems, require large-capacity ...

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, ...

A computer that references memory on word boundaries. Word addressing applies to very early computers as the memory (RAM) in computers today addresses a single byte (see byte addressable). See word.

The ascension of flash storage to mainstream datacentre technology status has brought with it questions about where and how exactly it can be used – and one of the big questions that comes up is over ...
