RAM, i.e., “random access memory,” is a commonly interchanged term for “volatile memory,” i.e., memory that loses its stored data when power is removed. Yet RAM is not an acronym with which I'm ...

Non-volatile memory (NVM) systems represent a transformative shift in data storage, blending the speed of conventional memory with the endurance of persistent storage. These systems enable data to ...

Researchers scientists have unlocked a new realm of possibilities for non-volatile phase change memory, a type of electronic memory capable of retaining data even without power. Traditionally, ...

A research team has developed hardware and software technology that ensures both data and execution persistence. The Lightweight Persistence Centric System (LightPC) makes the systems resilient ...

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 ...

The type of memory a designer selects for an embedded project drives overall system operation and performance, so obviously this is a very important decision. Whether the system runs on batteries or ...

Memories, both volatile and non-volatile are a critical element in various computing and logic devices, since that is where the data lives that is being processed. The mass market for memory ...

The demand for embedded flash memory has grown steeply over the years as many new applications emerged in consumer electronics (touchscreens, smart cards, bank cards, mobile payment, e-passport, etc.) ...

Most applications that require a microcontroller also require somemechanism to store settings that will be remembered even when power isremoved. For example, a radio that forgets its station presets ...
