If you're having PC memory issues, you might assume clearing your RAM's cache might sound like it'll make your PC run faster. But be careful, because it can actually slow it down and is unlikely to ...

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 ...

One of the greatest challenges facing the designers of many-core processors is resource contention. The chart below visually lays out the problem of resource contention, but for most of us the idea is ...

The more cache memory a computer has, the faster it runs. However, because of its high-speed performance, cache memory is more expensive to build than RAM. Therefore, cache memory tends to be very ...

RAM, or Random Access Memory, is what your computer uses to multi-task. Most devices with any kind of computer inside, whether it’s a PC, laptop, smartphone, or game console, will require a minimum ...

System-on-a-Chip (SoC) designers have a problem, a big problem in fact, Random Access Memory (RAM) is slow, too slow, it just can’t keep up. So they came up with a workaround and it is called cache ...

A Cache-Only Memory Architecture design (COMA) may be a sort of Cache-Coherent Non-Uniform Memory Access (CC- NUMA) design. not like in a very typical CC-NUMA design, in a COMA, each shared-memory ...

Web browsers like Firefox store a number of commonly downloaded files on the computer in what's called a cache. Storing these files saves the browser from having to load them from the Web every time, ...

The cache is soldered to the board, so yer out of luck there. In theory, the Aladdin 5 could cache up to 512, but the early chipsets had a flaw in the cache tag RAM that caused the 128 MB limitation.

Multiple PC OEMs are selling laptops outfitted with Intel Optane cache drives -- but they're improperly combining that information in ways that makes it seem as if the Optane cache drive represents ...
