Cache memory sits at the heart of modern computing performance, bridging the speed gap between processors and main memory. By leveraging principles like temporal and spatial locality, engineers design ...

Google AI breakthrough TurboQuant reduces KV cache memory 6x, improving chatbot efficiency, enabling longer context and ...

Google researchers have published a new quantization technique called TurboQuant that compresses the key-value (KV) cache in large language models to 3.5 bits per channel, cutting memory consumption ...

Enterprise AI applications that handle large documents or long-horizon tasks face a severe memory bottleneck. As the context grows longer, so does the KV cache, the area where the model’s working ...

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 hierarchical ...

How lossless data compression can reduce memory and power requirements. How ZeroPoint’s compression technology differs from the competition. One can never have enough memory, and one way to get more ...

What happens when cache doubles across all cores? A desktop processor design focuses on reducing memory bottlenecks in ...

AMD recently published a new patent that reveals that the company is working on making its 3D V-cache tech even better. Back in early 2021, we started hearing the first whispers and murmurs of a new ...

In the eighties, computer processors became faster and faster, while memory access times stagnated and hindered additional performance increases. Something had to be done to speed up memory access and ...

AMD is leveraging one of its latest families of EPYC server CPUs, code-named Genoa X, in-house to run the electronic design automation (EDA) tools it uses for product development. Based on TSMC's 5-nm ...

Magneto-resistive random access memory (MRAM) is a non-volatile memory technology that relies on the (relative) magnetization state of two ferromagnetic layers to store binary information. Throughout ...
