Memory management is a critical aspect of modern operating systems, ensuring efficient allocation and deallocation of system memory. Linux, as a robust and widely used operating system, employs ...

Cached memory is just what it says: RAM that's being used to cache information from the filesystem. The cache is managed so that if the RAM is needed for something else, it is used, automatically.

In the eighties, computer processors became faster and faster, while memory access times stagnated and hindered additional performance increases. Something had to be done to speed up memory access and ...

There are several commands for checking up on memory usage in a Linux system. Focusing on which processes and users are consuming the most memory can benefit from a few carefully crafted tools and ...

In order for Linux to be accepted into the corporate data center, it will need to perform well on "big iron", things like mainframes or large (greater than 8-way) SMP microprocessor-based systems.

System-on-a-Chip (SoC) designers have a problem, a big problem in fact, Random Access Memory (RAM) is slow, too slow, it just can’t keep up. So they came up with a workaround and it is called cache ...

Graphics processors need a lot of memory bandwidth for good performance. This is why discrete GPUs have hot-clocked GDDR or HBM on massively-wide memory interfaces, but integrated graphics don't have ...

Cache memory significantly reduces time and power consumption for memory access in systems-on-chip. Technologies like AMBA protocols facilitate cache coherence and efficient data management across CPU ...
