Magnetoresistive random-access memory, or MRAM, promises to make computers more efficient and powerful, but a few hurdles still need to be cleared.

Simulating more random access memory (RAM) than actually exists, which allows the computer to run larger programs as well as multiple programs concurrently. Actually developed back in the 1950s ...

SRAM retains data as long as power is supplied to the memory cell. SRAM finds applications in scenarios where fast data access is paramount: CPU Caches: SRAM is used in CPU caches (L1, L2, and L3) to ...

Static RAM lives in your PC, too, as cache memory where speed is important. For now, at least, these two types of RAM technology dominate the market for fast random access read/write memory.

Random access memory (RAM) close to the CPU. Contrast with "far memory," which is farther away from the CPU. Near memory may refer to the cache memory in the CPU chip or to memory inside the CPU ...
