Given the accuracy of Moore’s Law to the development of integrated circuits over the years, one would think that our present day period is no different from the past decades in terms of computer ...

It’s one thing to create your own relay-based computer; that’s already impressive enough, but what really makes [DiPDoT]’s ...

Generic test and repair approaches to embedded memory have hit their limit. Smaller feature sizes, such as 130 nm and 90 nm, have made it possible to embed multiple megabits of memory into a single ...

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 ...

This easy-to-read textbook provides an introduction to computer architecture, focusing on the essential aspects of hardware that programmers need to know. Written from a programmer’s point of view, ...

Fabric-based architectures provide cloud providers with a platform to build extremely large computational solutions. Gen-Z is on the forefront of this wave. I spoke with Tim Symons, Associate ...

*160 terabytes … that’s the size of the world’s current largest single–memory computing system. Bearing in mind that a terabyte is equal to 1000 gigabytes, it’s unimaginable that such a computer ...
