Figure 2.1 shows a multilevel memory hierarchy, including typical sizes and speeds of access. Figure 2.1. The levels in a typical memory hierarchy in a server computer shown on top (a) and in a ...

Modern consumer laptops, tablets, and smartphones have on the order of a six-layer memory hierarchy, and managing memory smartly has never been as important to computer science as it is today.

MIT researchers have developed a technique that rethinks hardware data compression, freeing up more memory used by computers and mobile devices. Memory in modern computers manages and transfers data ...

The memory hierarchy of the Cortex-A8 was simulated with 32 KB primary caches and a 1 MB eight-way set associative L2 cache using the integer Minnespec benchmarks (see KleinOsowski and Lilja [2002]).

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 ...

In this video from DDN booth at SC18, Andrey Kudryavtsev from Intel presents: Reimagining the Data Centre Memory and Storage Hierarchy. "Intel Optane DC persistent memory represents a new class of ...
