While processor speeds and memory storage capacities have surged in recent decades, overall computer performance remains constrained by data transfers, where the CPU must retrieve and process data ...

Virtual memory is used when the computer has no more available random access memory (RAM). Using virtual memory makes a computer run slower, as the processor has to wait while data is swapped between ...

Researchers have developed a new type of optical memory called a programmable photonic latch that is fast and scalable, enabling temporary data storage in optical processing systems and offering a ...
