In the most simple computer system architecture, all control lies with the CPU (Central Processing Unit). This means not only the execution of commands that affect the CPU’s internal register or cache ...
Direct memory access (DMA) is a means of having a peripheral device control a processor’s memory bus directly. DMA permits the peripheral, such as a UART, to transfer data directly to or from memory ...
Linux processes are made up of text, data, and BSS static segments; in addition, each process has its own stack (which is created with the fork system call). Heap space for Linux tasks are allocated ...
Xsystems has introduced TrueNAS 25.10 "Goldeye", which can be connected to super-fast storage systems with NVMe-oF. It also ...
The hyperscalers and cloud builders are not the only ones having fun with the CXL protocol and its ability to create tiered, disaggregated, and composable main memory for systems. HPC centers are ...
A team from the Computer Architecture and Memory Systems Laboratory (CAMEL) at KAIST presented a new compute express link (CXL) solution whose directly accessible, and high-performance memory ...
