We have written in the past about the uses of memory and storage in data movement and in AI applications. This piece will talk about digital distribution technology and the role of content caching ...

Virtual directories are touted for their flexibility, but the technology isn’t known for its speed. A virtual directory adds an extra layer of software and intermediate TCP/IP hop. Factor in the ...

A Cache-Only Memory Architecture design (COMA) may be a sort of Cache-Coherent Non-Uniform Memory Access (CC- NUMA) design. not like in a very typical CC-NUMA design, in a COMA, each shared-memory ...

Google researchers have published a new quantization technique called TurboQuant that compresses the key-value (KV) cache in large language models to 3.5 bits per channel, cutting memory consumption ...

Google AI breakthrough TurboQuant reduces KV cache memory 6x, improving chatbot efficiency, enabling longer context and ...

Recent industry trends, including the release of NVIDIA’s Rubin platform (developer.nvidia.com), point to a growing consensus that AI inference is reshaping data center architecture in a fundamental ...

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 ...

In a computer, the entire memory can be separated into different levels based on access time and capacity. Figure 1 shows different levels in the memory hierarchy. Smaller and faster memories are kept ...

In the eighties, computer processors became faster and faster, while memory access times stagnated and hindered additional performance increases. Something had to be done to speed up memory access and ...

It's a cool thing to have. But a worthy investment? Maybe not.

Magneto-resistive random access memory (MRAM) is a non-volatile memory technology that relies on the (relative) magnetization state of two ferromagnetic layers to store binary information. Throughout ...
