Memory Hierarchy and the Memory Wall
Computer programs mainly move data around. In the meantime, they do some computations on the data but the bulk of execution time and energy is spent moving data around. In computer jargon we say that applications tend to be memory bound: this means that memory is the main performance limiting … Read More
The never ending appetite for higher bandwidths, faster data interfaces and lower latencies are bringing about changes in how data is processed at data centers. The expansion of cloud to the network edge has introduced broad use of artificial intelligence (AI) techniques for extracting meaning from data. Cloud supercomputing… Read More
