Data Centers Turn To New Memories
By Ann Mutschler - 12 Oct, 2017 - Comments: 3

DRAM extensions and alternatives are starting to show up inside of data centers as the volume of data being processed, stored and accessed continues to skyrocket. This is having a big impact on the architecture of data centers, where the goal now is to move processing much closer to the data and to reduce latency everywhere. Memory has always been a key piece of the Von Neumann compute archi... » read more

What Happened To ReRAM?
