CPU cache is the fast memory between the cores and main memory. What L1, L2, and L3 each do, why cache lines are 64 bytes, and when more cache actually makes a processor faster.

The authors report on the design of efficient cache controller suitable for use in FPGA-based processors. Semiconductor memory which can operate at speeds comparable with the operation of the ...

If you've ever troubleshooted something on your computer or cleaned up your browsing history, you've most likely come across advice related to the cache (pronounced "cash"). Most likely, you've been ...

Nvidia researchers have introduced a new technique that dramatically reduces how much memory large language models need to track conversation history — by as much as 20x — without modifying the model ...

Why it matters: A RAM drive is traditionally conceived as a block of volatile memory "formatted" to be used as a secondary storage disk drive. RAM disks are extremely fast compared to HDDs or even ...

Enterprise AI applications that handle large documents or long-horizon tasks face a severe memory bottleneck. As the context grows longer, so does the KV cache, the area where the model’s working ...

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 ...

Earlier this year, SDxCentral explored the market push behind AI inference – the process where a trained machine learning model generates predictions and outputs from new input data. Dell’Oro Group ...

How lossless data compression can reduce memory and power requirements. How ZeroPoint’s compression technology differs from the competition. One can never have enough memory, and one way to get more ...

Researchers from the Graz University of Technology have discovered a way to convert a limited heap vulnerability in the Linux kernel into a malicious memory writes capability to demonstrate novel ...
