The term “memory wall” was first coined in the 1990s to describe memory bandwidth bottlenecks that were holding back CPU performance. The semiconductor industry helped address this memory wall through ...

JEDEC’s HBM4 and the emerging SPHBM4 standard boost bandwidth and expand packaging options, helping AI and HPC systems push past the memory and I/O walls.

The bottleneck in AI and other memory-intensive applications whereby the transfer of data to and from memory is the slowest operation. For example, CPU register and cache cycle times are less than one ...

While the improvements in processor performance to enable the incredible compute requirements of applications like Chat-GPT get all the headlines, a not-so-new phenomenon known as the memory wall ...

The hunt is on for anything that can surmount AI’s perennial memory wall–even quick models are bogged down by the time and energy needed to carry data between processor and memory. Resistive RAM (RRAM ...

In the eighties, computer processors became faster and faster, while memory access times stagnated and hindered additional performance increases. Something had to be done to speed up memory access and ...
