Raleigh (ip-192.com): Processor performance can be boosted by an average of 21 percent, thanks to a new technique developed by researchers from North Carolina State University that allows graphics processing units (GPUs) and central processing units (CPUs) on a single chip to collaborate. “Chip manufacturers are now creating processors that have a ‘fused architecture,’ meaning [...]
Encryption for non-volatile main memory
May 26, 2011 By Leave a Comment
Raleigh (ip-192.com): Security concerns are one of the key obstacles to the adoption of new non-volatile main memory (NVMM) technology in next-generation computers, which would improve computer start times and boost memory capacity. But now researchers from North Carolina State University have developed new encryption hardware for use with NVMM to protect personal information and [...]
Memristor: HP, Hynix to build nano memory
September 2, 2010 By Leave a Comment
Houston (ip-192.com): Hynix Semiconductor Inc. and Hewlett-Packard Co. agreed to develop a new kind of universal memory dubbed “ReRam” or Resistive Random Access Memory to eventually replace DRAM or dynamic random access memory and flash memory. ReRam is based on a technology known as memory resistor, or memristor, that consists of passive two-terminal circuit elements [...]
