Non-volatile memories are not the main memory (RAM) in computers, tablets and smartphones. However, they can be the main memory in devices such as sensors, industrial controls, point-of-sale terminals ...

Following are the different types of RAM and storage technologies used in electronic devices. They fall into two categories: volatile and non-volatile. Volatile chips lose their content the instant ...

Modern computer systems have been built around the assumption that persistent storage is accessed via a slow, block-based interface. However, new byte-addressable, persistent memory technologies such ...

As DRAM approaches scaling limits, there is significant industry investment in alternatives. An approach called persistent memory (PM) is emerging that is likely to influence enterprises in important ...

CPU performance increases have slowed to a crawl. NVM promises - and early benchmarks are remarkable - to turbocharge system performance. This is revolutionary tech. In January, Neal Christiansen, ...
