Large-scale applications, such as generative AI, recommendation systems, big data, and HPC systems, require large-capacity ...

Researchers at North Carolina State University have developed a new AI-assisted tool that helps computer architects boost ...

Virtual RAM can help boost PC performance when resources are scarce. While it can be useful, it's not a replacement for physical RAM.

For about four years now, AMD has offered special “X3D” variants of its high-end desktop processors with an extra 64MB of L3 cache attached, an addition that disproportionately benefits games. AMD ...

If Google’s AI researchers had a sense of humor, they would have called TurboQuant, the new, ultra-efficient AI memory compression algorithm announced Tuesday, “Pied Piper” — or, at least that’s what ...

As Large Language Models (LLMs) expand their context windows to process massive documents and intricate conversations, they encounter a brutal hardware reality known as the "Key-Value (KV) cache ...

Even if you don’t know much about the inner workings of generative AI models, you probably know they need a lot of memory. Hence, it is currently almost impossible to buy a measly stick of RAM without ...

The scaling of Large Language Models (LLMs) is increasingly constrained by memory communication overhead between High-Bandwidth Memory (HBM) and SRAM. Specifically, the Key-Value (KV) cache size ...
