A computer's maximum supported system memory, or RAM, is contingent on the processor, the operating system and the motherboard. These three factors provide hardware and software limitations that ...

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 ...

Memory can be a tricky term in the computer world. There is random access memory (RAM), and hard drive space is often described as memory. To make things a little more confusing, the process of using ...

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 ...

Many people ask – How do I find out how much RAM is installed on my computer? How much memory does my Graphics card have? How much Video memory does my Windows PC have? In this post, we will see how ...

A new feature in Apple's upcoming OS X is reminiscent of a past technology for enhancing RAM use in Macs. Topher, an avid Mac user for the past 15 years, has been a contributing author to MacFixIt ...

With transistors and logic gates as our basic building blocks, we can begin to construct the actual circuits that make up computer memory. One of the simplest memory circuits is the AND gate, which ...

Throughout the 1980’s and early 1990’s computer systems were bottlenecked by relatively slow CPU performance, thereby limiting what applications could do. Driven by Moore’s Law, transistor counts ...

Complex, computational work with huge sets of data is now common practice in fields such as genomics, economics, and astrophysics. Researchers in these and similarly data intensive fields depend on ...
