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 ...

Non-volatile memory (NVM) systems and architectures have emerged as pivotal components in modern computing, offering the combined benefits of data persistence and enhanced energy efficiency. With ...

Non-volatile memory (NVM) systems represent a transformative shift in data storage, blending the speed of conventional memory with the endurance of persistent storage. These systems enable data to ...

Non-volatile memory is becoming more complicated at advanced nodes, where price, speed, power and utilization are feeding into some very application-specific tradeoffs about where to place that memory ...

In the distant past, in techno years, semiconductor memories were discrete devices that stored information separately from other primary system functions. Over time, processors combined memory on-chip ...

We live in a real time world where no one likes to wait. Incessant demand for faster end user experiences and services, on every mobile device, drives unrelenting pressure on the other side of the ...

A long-running problem in the computer world is that DRAM is the fastest memory available but also volatile, so it can't hold onto its data when power is shut off. This makes it useless for data ...

Tessent MemoryBIST from Siemens EDA provides a complete solution for at-speed test, diagnosis, repair, debug and characterization of embedded memories. Leveraging a flexible hierarchical architecture, ...

RAM, i.e., “random access memory,” is a commonly interchanged term for “volatile memory,” i.e., memory that loses its stored data when power is removed. Yet RAM is not an acronym with which I'm ...

The type of memory a designer selects for an embedded project drives overall system operation and performance, so obviously this is a very important decision. Whether the system runs on batteries or ...

Much like the end of Moore’s Law, the scaling challenges of flash memory have been a significant issue for several years. Embedded flash memory is reaching its limits as technology nodes for embedded ...
