Chipmakers and analysts are warning of a memory chip shortage that could accelerate next year, hitting consumer electronics ...

Creating a new chip architecture is becoming an increasingly complex series of tradeoffs about memories and processing elements, but the benefits are not always obvious when those tradeoffs are being ...

Apple's UMA design -- a single, fixed pool of RAM integrated into the die with the CPU, GPU and NPU -- makes Mac and MacBook configuration choices a little different than it used to be.

The performance of a business computer at everyday tasks largely depends on two factors: its processor speed and the amount of memory it has. The processor's speed comes from its clock, a timing ...

Designers are in luck. Many digital technologies like PCI Express Gen 3 and USB 3.0 are beginning to mature, providing more options to use instead of new specifications to covet. Still, other ...

In 1977, John Backus wrote a seminal paper titled, Can Programming Be Liberated From the von Neumann Style? In this paper, Backus defined the implications of what we refer to today as the “memory ...

Some recent memory and processing advances are discussed in this article. We look at the latest Samsung CXL DDR5 memory announcement as well as Tachyum’s recently announced Prodigy Universal Processor ...

There are two types of memory modes offered by the eZ80 CPU. This application describes the types of memory modes, and provides a simple application to demonstrate how to properly configure the eZ80 ...

Erm. Well. There are a lot of possible answers to that. Some points:<BR><BR>1. Java is generally compiled to bytecode, which is then interpreted at run-time. (There are exceptions, and some ...

Historically, one of the larger bottlenecks to computing performance hasn't been processor speed; it has been getting data and instructions to and from the processor. Working with memory isn't only a ...
