Storage and memory are the two major holding areas for programs and data in a computer, tablet or smartphone, and their interplay is the fundamental architecture of computer processing. Unfortunately, ...

Today we’re going to trace the history of these storage technologies. So we’ve talked about computer memory a couple times in this series, but what we haven’t talked about is storage. Data written to ...

In a bid to create smaller, more powerful computers and smartphones, researchers at New York University have come up with a new digital data storage technique they've dubbed "racetrack memory." There ...

Memory has been a key limiting factor in the design of processor-based systems since, well, forever. The number of weird and wonderful storage systems is actually pretty large, although many designers ...

The IT industry is always striving to overcome bottlenecks, and one of the biggest is input/output (I/O). Whether it is memory bandwidth, network bandwidth or how quickly a high-resolution screen can ...
