Non-volatile memories are not the main memory (RAM) in computers, tablets and smartphones. When only a small amount of RAM is required, non-volatile memories can actually be the main memory in remote ...

Non-volatile memory (NVM) systems and architectures have emerged as pivotal components in modern computing, offering the combined benefits of data persistence and enhanced energy efficiency. With ...

Coughlin Associates and Objective Analysis released their 2023 report on emerging non-volatile memory technologies, which covers all aspects of new emerging non-volatile memories, who makes them, ...

Storage and memory are the two major holding areas for programs and data in a computer, tablet or smartphone, and their interplay is the fundamental architecture of computer processing. Unfortunately, ...

A research team has developed hardware and software technology that ensures both data and execution persistence. The Lightweight Persistence Centric System (LightPC) makes the systems resilient ...

Non-volatile memory is an important component in a wide range of high-performance embedded applications. Especially, many consumer, industrial, and medical applications need increased re-writability ...

Researchers scientists have unlocked a new realm of possibilities for non-volatile phase change memory, a type of electronic memory capable of retaining data even without power. Traditionally, ...

A long-running problem in the computer world is that DRAM is the fastest memory available but also volatile, so it can't hold onto its data when power is shut off. This makes it useless for data ...

IBM Research has been working on new non-volatile magnetic memory for over two decades. Non-volatile memory is wonderful for retaining data without power, but it is extremely slow, and does not last ...

Even as a mature, diverse and reliable technology—magnetic spinning disk drives (aka hard disk drives or “HDDs”) continue to grow in capacity, performance and cost benefits. Alternative storage ...
