Auxiliary memory: is also called physical memory or external memory). Its role is to store information over the long term, including after the computer is turned off. Auxiliary memory corresponds to ...

Perhaps the most well-known type of memory is random access memory (RAM), which is used for temporary storage of data and instructions that are actively being used by the computer’s processor.

A new design for computer memory that could both greatly improve performance and reduce the energy demands of internet and communications technologies, which are predicted to consume nearly a third of ...

You might know that RAM is an important part of a computer system, but you could also be fuzzy on its purpose. In this ...

A more effective memory . Computer memory card (credit: PXFUEL) The researchers at Cambridge experimented with a new type of technology known as resistive switching memory, that could potentially ...

Samsung has used advanced computer modeling to accelerate the development of Selector-Only Memory (SOM), a new memory technology that combines non-volatility with DRAM-like read/write speeds and ...

Random Access Memory (RAM) is a type of computer memory that lets the CPU temporarily store program data that it is actively working on or with.

Researchers have developed a new design for computer memory that could both greatly improve performance and reduce the energy demands of internet and communications technologies, which are ...

Known as non-volatile memory, these types of memory can reduce device energy consumption but are currently limited due to their high cost and low durability. Tingyi Gu , associate professor in the ...

Installation slots for random access memory (RAM) computer chips sit on a support board for a server system at the Bull SA headquarters in Angers, France, on Monday, June 23, 2014.

Unlike conventional memory devices that can encode data in two states (one or zero), this novel type of memory can enable a continuous range of states. Sandro Gianella, Head of EMEA Policy ...
