Data prefetching has emerged as a critical approach to mitigate the performance bottlenecks imposed by memory access latencies in modern computer architectures. By predicting the data likely to be ...

Engineers made a pneumatic RAM chip using microfluidic valves instead of electronic transistors. The valves remain sealed against a pressure differential even when disconnected from an air supply line ...

ACM, the Association for Computing Machinery, and the IEEE Computer Society have named Margaret Martonosi, the Hugh Trumbull Adams '35 Professor of Computer Science at Princeton University, as the ...

Apple's Unified Memory Architecture first brought changes to the Mac with Apple Silicon M1 chips. There are clear architectural benefits for the hardware — and it is both good and bad for consumers.
