Conventional Memory Is Key to Ubiquitous AIAs the hype around artificial intelligence dies down and engineers confront new challenges, it’s becoming clearer that not all machine-learning and inference tasks will require advanced memory technology. Proven conventional memories can handle AI at… Dec 23 21December 23, 2021Article at EE Times Europe
NVMe-oF Is Ready to Go the DistanceAfter a slower-than-expected start, is NVMe over Fabrics (NVMe-oF) finally taking off? As an extension of the somewhat-mature nonvolatile memory express (NVMe) protocol, the NVMe-oF specification uses NVMe to connect hosts to storage across a network… Feb 22 21February 22, 2021Article at EE Times Europe
Emerging Memories May Never Go Beyond Niche ApplicationsIt is time for a frank discussion about emerging memories. Many have now been percolating for decades with the promise of displacing established incumbents such as DRAM and NAND flash. But will emerging memories ever see the light of day? Despite… Feb 17 21February 17, 2021Article at EE Times Europe
Plenty of Life Left in ‘Legacy’ MemoriesLegacy memories are no longer lowly devices that hit their end of life (EOL) because a major vendor is focused on the latest and greatest. With a growing list of smart devices, AI-infused edge computing, and the exponentially growing internet of… Feb 11 21February 11, 2021Article at EE Times Europe
Memory Only a Piece of the Security PuzzleAdvertisement Security features for memory are not new, but increased connectivity compounded by the pandemic-driven surge in remote work means that safeguarding data is more critical and even more challenging. The security challenges are amplified… Feb 01 21February 01, 2021Article at EE Times Europe
5G Mixes, Matches MemoriesFor consumers, 5G brings with it the potential of a better user experience on smartphones, but its influence on memory uptake won’t be at the device level. Handset makers will continue to add more DRAM and flash storage to smartphones regardless of… Jan 26 21January 26, 2021Article at EE Times Europe
Remote Work Spurs Desktop Performance IncreasesAre PCs again poised to drive memory demand? Or are 5G-enabled smartphones the go-to device for remote workers? As more of us work from home, the last thing that IT departments need is complaints about a lack of computing horsepower. The solution… Dec 30 20December 30, 2020Article at EE Times Europe
FRAM’s Future Is Higher DensitiesMuch of the emerging memory chatter of late has been over ReRAM, MRAM, and PCRAM in the form of 3D XPoint. But ferroelectric RAM (FRAM) has had a lot of success getting used in small, niche appliances. Last year’s annual report on emerging memory,… Jun 02 20June 02, 2020Article at EE Times Europe
Memory Makers and Foundries Step Up to Serve Hyperscale DemandsThere’s never been more pressure on memory to meet the demands of new applications — everything from edge computing and the internet of things (IoT) to increasingly smarter phones and smart cars. Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning are… Dec 20 19December 20, 2019Article at EE Times Europe
