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 ...
Figure 1: The electro-optic system on a chip. We use the direct chip-to-chip optical connectivity of the microprocessor chip to build a photonically connected main memory system for the microprocessor ...
New RISC-V core design with smart memory controller dramatically speeds up calculations and significantly reduces energy consumption Cambridge, UK — 21 November 2024 — Blueshift Memory, designer of a ...
A very common question I am asked is which is more important, the speed of the processor or the amount memory. This is a difficult question to answer and it would help if we had some understanding of ...
In the earlier blog on Ramtron’s MaxArias, Cidbarca raised several excellent questions in two separate comments that will probably take at least three blogs to answer. I made the broad statement that ...
