IBM Research has been working on new non-volatile magnetic memory for over two decades. Non-volatile memory is wonderful for retaining data without power, but it is extremely slow, and does not last ...

With HPE’s announcement last week that it will offer storage-class memory (SCM) in its 3PAR and Nimble arrays, we have entered a new phase in the architecture of storage and a potential step-change in ...

Chipmakers make abundant use of two very different functional classes of memory in their products. For operational use (main/primary memory) where speed is critical, DRAM and SRAM are employed, ...

Storage performance is never good enough. DRAM speeds are measured in nanoseconds, but is volatile/non-persistent, meanwhile, even the fastest non-volatile storage – such as Intel Optane/3D XPoint – ...
