Optane Memory uses a "least recently used" (LRU) approach to determine what gets stored in the fast cache. All initial data reads come from the slower HDD storage, and the data gets copied over to ...

Cache data needs all this housekeeping data — the tag, the valid bit, the dirty bit — stored in high-speed cache memory, which increases the overall cost of the cache system.

Most users will not notice a drop in performance with a DRAM-less SSD, but it still might be getting less and less worthwhile ...

Clearing cache may not be advisable for all purposes, but sometimes it's just what your phone needs to work properly again ...

To prevent CPUs from using outdated data in their caches instead of using the updated data in RAM or a neighboring cache, a feature called bus snooping was introduced.

Caching and Memory Semantics PCIe devices transfer data and flag across the PCIe Link (s) using the load-store I/O protocol while enforcing the producer-consumer ordering model for data consistency.

However in recent years, the cost of memory has been falling, making it possible to put far larger datasets in memory for data processing tasks, rather than use it simply as a cache.

Traditionally, databases and big data software have been built mirroring the realities of hardware: memory is fast, transient and expensive, disk is slow, permanent and cheap. But as hardware is ...

Currently, TMO enables transparent memory offloading across millions of servers in our datacenters, resulting in memory savings of 20%–32%. Of this, 7%–19% is from the application containers, while ...

The differences between IMDGs and IMDBs are more technical in nature, but both offer ways to accelerate development and deployment of data-driven applications.
