The Spectre and Meltdown vulnerabilities in 2018 exposed computer memory as an easy target for hackers to inject malicious code and steal data. The aftermath spurred the adoption of memory-safe chips ...

Computer memory and storage have always followed the Law of Closet Space. No matter how much you have, you shortly discover that it isn’t enough. So it’s good news that scientists in Switzerland are ...

*160 terabytes … that’s the size of the world’s current largest single–memory computing system. Bearing in mind that a terabyte is equal to 1000 gigabytes, it’s unimaginable that such a computer ...

New Delhi, Aug 17 (IANS) Researchers from IIT Guwahati have developed methods to evenly distribute accesses across computer systems’ overall memory capacity to reduce the wear-out pressure on ...

Architectures may allow or disallow unaligned memory access. While no special guidelines are required when unaligned memory access is allowed, if disallowed, the programmer must be careful. Ignoring ...

Like computers, graphics cards use RAM to store active data -- and like PCs, in many cases, the more RAM available to a card, the better the card will perform. Video memory contains data about each ...
