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 ...

Design and understanding of the computer system as a whole unit. Performance Evaluation and its role in computer system design; Instruction Set Architecture design, Datapath design and optimizations ...

This course examines fundamental issues and design trade-offs in modern processor architectures. We will discuss some of the constraints that limit the design and programmability of modern processors, ...

CAMBRIDGE, England & SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Blueshift Memory, designer of a novel proprietary high-speed memory architecture, has announced that the Cambridge Architecture™ has been ...

This month's Non-Volatile Memory Workshop (NVMW '17) has concluded, and it was truly a mind-expanding program, in more ways than one. Case in point: Stanford Professor H.S. Philip Wong presented The ...

3D Xpoint (pronounced "crosspoint") is designed in a 3D structure, like some of the cutting-edge 3D NAND we've discussed. Unlike NAND, however, 3D Xpoint doesn't use an electrical charge to store data ...

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 ...

Most of us think of memory as a chamber of the mind, and assume that our capacity to remember is only as good as our brain. But according to some architectural theorists, our memories are products of ...
