Why it matters: A RAM drive is traditionally conceived as a block of volatile memory "formatted" to be used as a secondary storage disk drive. RAM disks are extremely fast compared to HDDs or even ...

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 ...

The USB 3.0 Express RAM cache flash drive (ST3UxxERS) comes with 32- or 64-Gbyte capacity and a 32-Mbyte DRAM cache. The MLC drive can copy many small files — such as backing up many Word docs or MP3 ...

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 ...

The new revolutionary Infinity Cache technology allows AMD to use a smaller 256-bit memory bus and slower GDDR6 memory on its Radeon RX 6000 series graphics cards, but it will offer some tremendous ...

The cache is soldered to the board, so yer out of luck there. In theory, the Aladdin 5 could cache up to 512, but the early chipsets had a flaw in the cache tag RAM that caused the 128 MB limitation.

The dynamic interplay between processor speed and memory access times has rendered cache performance a critical determinant of computing efficiency. As modern systems increasingly rely on hierarchical ...
