Storage and memory are the two major holding areas for programs and data in a computer, tablet or smartphone, and their interplay is the fundamental architecture of computer processing. Unfortunately, ...

A 3D write-once memory structure from Matrix Semiconductor Inc., Santa Clara, Calif., promises to achieve a cost so low—just $0.02 to $0.03 per megabyte—that the cost of a 64- or 128-Mbyte memory card ...

Non-volatile memory is an important component in a wide range of high-performance embedded applications. Especially, many consumer, industrial, and medical applications need increased re-writability ...

This is the second in a set of three blogs about projections for digital storage and memory for the following year that we have been doing for a while. Our first blog focused on the latest ...

A research team has developed hardware and software technology that ensures both data and execution persistence. The Lightweight Persistence Centric System (LightPC) makes the systems resilient ...

To make accurate predictions and reliably complete desired tasks, most artificial intelligence (AI) systems need to rapidly ...

The idea of combining memory and storage into one component has been around for a long time, but up until now, it was nowhere near becoming a reality. However, that might be about to change.

For all the performance gains of flash over disk storage, it was traditionally designed for low cost-per-bit. A brand new breed of flash that prioritizes performance is coming. Its low latency and ...

The history of storage devices is quite literally a race between the medium and the computing power as the bottleneck of preserving billions of ones and zeros stands in the way of computing nirvana.

The IEEE puts on a series of conferences that focus on semiconductor devices, heterogenous integration and other nanotechnologies, with sessions on solid state memory technologies. These include the ...
