RAM, i.e., “random access memory,” is a commonly interchanged term for “volatile memory,” i.e., memory that loses its stored data when power is removed. Yet RAM is not an acronym with which I'm ...

Non-volatile memory (NVM) systems represent a transformative shift in data storage, blending the speed of conventional memory with the endurance of persistent storage. These systems enable data to ...

A research team has developed hardware and software technology that ensures both data and execution persistence. The Lightweight Persistence Centric System (LightPC) makes the systems resilient ...

Memories, both volatile and non-volatile are a critical element in various computing and logic devices, since that is where the data lives that is being processed. The mass market for memory ...

The type of memory a designer selects for an embedded project drives overall system operation and performance, so obviously this is a very important decision. Whether the system runs on batteries or ...

Most applications that require a microcontroller also require somemechanism to store settings that will be remembered even when power isremoved. For example, a radio that forgets its station presets ...

The demand for embedded flash memory has grown steeply over the years as many new applications emerged in consumer electronics (touchscreens, smart cards, bank cards, mobile payment, e-passport, etc.) ...

A long-running problem in the computer world is that DRAM is the fastest memory available but also volatile, so it can't hold onto its data when power is shut off. This makes it useless for data ...
