When you are reading data that is non-volatile, the executing thread may or may not always get the latest value. If the object is volatile, the thread always gets the most up-to-date value.

Non-volatile memories are not the main memory (RAM) in computers, tablets and smartphones. When only a small amount of RAM is required, non-volatile memories can actually be the main memory in ...

Non-volatile memories such as flash memory are transforming data centers, client computers and consumer applications. They have led to new interfaces and developments in software that take ...

When we have any form of non-volatile memory directly addressable by a processor, much of the programming model need not be affected, but some of it will and must be different. In this sixth and final ...

Although non-volatile memory has the characteristics of lower power consumption and larger capacity than DRAM, non-volatile memory is typically used for the task of secondary storage due to its ...

Non-volatile memory can retain information without power — unlike RAM — and has fast access times, providing both huge power savings and the potential for much faster data transfer. "Within ...

PCMO is designed to be fast on the order of DRAM while providing non-volatile storage—sort of. I talked with 4DS Memory’s Chief Strategic Officer, Peter Himes, about PCMO ReRAM (watch the ...

Non-volatile memory (NVM) systems and architectures have emerged as pivotal components in modern computing, offering the combined benefits of data persistence and enhanced energy efficiency.
