A cache is a special storage space for temporary files that makes a device, browser, or app run faster and more efficiently. After opening an app or website for the first time, a cache stashes files, ...

Large-scale applications, such as generative AI, recommendation systems, big data, and HPC systems, require large-capacity ...

The dynamic interplay between processor speed and memory access times has rendered cache performance a critical determinant of computing efficiency. As modern systems increasingly rely on hierarchical ...

Researchers at North Carolina State University have developed a new AI-assisted tool that helps computer architects boost ...

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 ...

Shimon Ben-David, CTO, WEKA and Matt Marshall, Founder & CEO, VentureBeat As agentic AI moves from experiments to real production workloads, a quiet but serious infrastructure problem is coming into ...

Why it matters: A RAM drive is traditionally conceived as a block of volatile memory "formatted" to be used as a secondary storage disk drive. RAM disks are extremely fast compared to HDDs or even ...

Nvidia researchers have introduced a new technique that dramatically reduces how much memory large language models need to track conversation history — by as much as 20x — without modifying the model ...

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 ...
