IBM Research has been working on new non-volatile magnetic memory for over two decades. Non-volatile memory is wonderful for retaining data without power, but it is extremely slow, and does not last ...

With HPE’s announcement last week that it will offer storage-class memory (SCM) in its 3PAR and Nimble arrays, we have entered a new phase in the architecture of storage and a potential step-change in ...

WD - Memory and Storage Hierarchy A variety of companies are working on variants of Resistive RAM (ReRAM), and indeed this is the technology that WD (which now includes what used to be SanDisk ) said ...

Storage performance is never good enough. DRAM speeds are measured in nanoseconds, but is volatile/non-persistent, meanwhile, even the fastest non-volatile storage – such as Intel Optane/3D XPoint – ...

Chipmakers make abundant use of two very different functional classes of memory in their products. For operational use (main/primary memory) where speed is critical, DRAM and SRAM are employed, ...

If you’ve read my Java 101 tutorial introducing static classes and inner classes, you should be familiar with the basics of working with nested classes in Java code. In this associated tip, I’ll walk ...
