Concurrent data structures and memory management are critical components in the design of modern multi-core and parallel computing systems. These fields address the challenge of ensuring safe, ...

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 ...

Glass nanostructures etched using high-intensity femtosecond laser pulses promise to keep vast quantities of data safe for billions of years, describe Peter Kazansky, Ausra Cerkauskaite and Rokas ...

Seventy years after the invention of a data structure called a hash table, theoreticians have found the most efficient possible configuration for it. About 70 years ago, an engineer at IBM named Hans ...

Memories of all types are facing pressures as demands grow for greater capacity, lower cost, faster speeds, and lower power to handle the onslaught of new data being generated daily. Whether it’s well ...

Even though a computer’s memory map looks pretty smooth and very much byte-addressable at first glance, the same memory on a hardware level is a lot more bumpy. An essential term a developer may come ...

Most people are familiar with data in the form of a spreadsheet, with labeled columns of different data types such as name, address, age, and so on. Databases work the same way, with each table laid ...

Dr. Bonde Thylstrup is a professor at the University of Copenhagen. A constant hum drones out of a former church in San Francisco. It is the sound, from hundreds of fans cooling hundreds of computer ...

Big data is becoming a big problem. In the face of rising emissions from data centres, researchers are turning to novel solutions for storage. Memory crystals and DNA are two frontrunners. On a visit ...
