A disk or memory cache that supports writing. Data normally written to memory or to disk by the CPU is first written into the cache. During idle machine cycles, the data are written from the cache ...

Google researchers have published a new quantization technique called TurboQuant that compresses the key-value (KV) cache in ...

The year so far has been filled with news of Spectre and Meltdown. These exploits take advantage of features like speculative execution, and memory access timing. What they have in common is the fact ...

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 ...

Google’s TurboQuant cuts AI memory use by 6x and speeds up inference. But will it cause DRAM prices to drop anytime soon? Let ...

Google researchers have proposed TurboQuant, a two-stage quantization method that, according to a recent arXiv preprint, can ...

The gap between the performance of processors, broadly defined, and the performance of DRAM main memory, also broadly defined, has been an issue for at least three decades when the gap really started ...

As AI workloads extend across nearly every technology sector, systems must move more data, use memory more efficiently, and respond more predictably than traditional design methodologies allow. These ...
