The performance of a business computer at everyday tasks largely depends on two factors: its processor speed and the amount of memory it has. The processor's speed comes from its clock, a timing ...

My last blog post concluded that a plethora of new memory performance attributes are becoming available. This is in stark contrast with the traditional image of the memory suppliers as a few large ...

A computer's maximum supported system memory, or RAM, is contingent on the processor, the operating system and the motherboard. These three factors provide hardware and software limitations that ...

There's a surprising amount of code running before the OS even loads.

The biggest challenge posed by AI training is in moving the massive datasets between the memory and processor.

A new way of arranging advanced computer components called memristors on a chip could enable them to be used for general computing, which could cut energy consumption by a factor of 100. A new way of ...

A group of researchers from Stanford have developed a way to combine processors and memory on multiple hybrid chips to allow AI to run on battery-powered devices such as smartphones and tablets. The ...

Erm. Well. There are a lot of possible answers to that. Some points:<BR><BR>1. Java is generally compiled to bytecode, which is then interpreted at run-time. (There are exceptions, and some ...
