Systems To Morph As Memory Options Expand

June 11, 2016 Timothy Prickett Morgan 0

Compute is by far still the largest part of the hardware budget at most IT organizations, and even with the advance of technology, which allows more compute, memory, storage, and I/O to be crammed into a server node, we still seem to always want more. …

Future Systems: What Will Tomorrow’s Server Look Like?

February 4, 2016 Timothy Prickett Morgan 1

We can talk about storage and networking as much as we want, and about how the gravity of data bends infrastructure to its needs, but the server – or a collection of them loosely or tightly coupled – is still the real center of the datacenter. …

The Nitty Gritty Of In Memory Computing

September 7, 2015 Mark Funk 9

As noted at the beginning of this article series last week, an initial dive into in-memory computing meant questioning whether this was just another of those buzz words or whether there was some meat behind it. …

Intel Reveals Plans For Optane 3D XPoint Memory

August 18, 2015 Timothy Prickett Morgan 9

Chip makers and partners Intel and Micron Technology unveiled their jointly developed and manufactured 3D XPoint memory three weeks ago to much fanfare, but it is still perhaps sinking in to system architects and future system buyers how dramatic a move this is and how much it will change the memory hierarchy in systems and the applications that ride on it. …
