SAN MATEO, Calif. SRAMs embedded in cell-based chip designs are, after years of relative stasis, in the midst of a shakeup. A convergence of factors, both architectural and process-related, is forcing ...

In the early days of computing, everything ran quite a bit slower than what we see today. This was not only because the computers' central processing units – CPUs – were slow, but also because ...

In the eighties, computer processors became faster and faster, while memory access times stagnated and hindered additional performance increases. Something had to be done to speed up memory access and ...

SAN MATEO, Calif. – A fabless SRAM designer aims to give a new twist to cellular phone designs by developing a Java hardware accelerator as a third die for today's widely used SRAM/flash multi-chip ...

When talking about CPU specifications, in addition to clock speed and number of cores/threads, ' CPU cache memory ' is sometimes mentioned. Developer Gabriel G. Cunha explains what this CPU cache ...
