Transferring large blocks of data within memory as well as to and from peripherals. Direct memory access (DMA) avoids loading the CPU's register with small amounts of data from memory and storing them ...

In the most simple computer system architecture, all control lies with the CPU (Central Processing Unit). This means not only the execution of commands that affect the CPU’s internal register or cache ...

Here’s the thing about coding. When you’re working on embedded projects, it’s quite easy to run into hardware limitations, and quite suddenly, too. You find yourself desperately trying to find a way ...

More storage, now. And make it faster! The explosion of data gathering in today’s online business environment means that your storage requirements keep going up, and the amount of data that you need ...

The term memory in a computer system refers to devices that store information in the form of chips. There are two main types of physical memory in a computer system, Random Access Memory (RAM) and ...

At SC25, experts highlighted how accelerated computing and smarter memory handling are reshaping AI infrastructure, improving GPU utilization and more.

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.

Direct memory access (DMA) is a means of having a peripheral device control a processor’s memory bus directly. DMA permits the peripheral, such as a UART, to transfer data directly to or from memory ...
