One of the most important facets of the vonNeumann architecture is that it tightly defined the role of memory inthe computer system. Memory was considered a storage device, no more orless. The ...

In the traditional Von-Neuman architecture, 95% of the energy is consumed by the need to transfer data from the processing unit to the memory back and forth. In systems that need fast response, low ...

While processor speeds and memory storage capacities have surged in recent decades, overall computer performance remains constrained by data transfers, where the CPU must retrieve and process data ...

Analog AI embraces Compute-in-Memory (CIM)—also known as Processing-in-Memory (PIM)—to address this inefficiency. In CIM architectures, core ... Its multidisciplinary foundation—encompassing physics, ...

The bleeding edge: In-memory processing is a fascinating concept for a new computer architecture that can compute operations within the system's memory. While hardware accommodating this type of ...

SOT-MRAM stands out for its superior power efficiency, nonvolatility, and performance compared to static RAM, making it a ...

Apple's Unified Memory Architecture first brought changes to the Mac with Apple Silicon M1 chips. There are clear architectural benefits for the hardware — and it is both good and bad for consumers.

Scientists introduce what they call 'simultaneous and heterogeneous multithreading' or SHMT. This system doubles computer processing speeds with existing hardware by simultaneously using graphics ...
