Enterprise AI applications that handle large documents or long-horizon tasks face a severe memory bottleneck. As the context grows longer, so does the KV cache, the area where the model’s working ...

Researchers at Nvidia have developed a technique that can reduce the memory costs of large language model reasoning by up to eight times. Their technique, called dynamic memory sparsification (DMS), ...

AMD recently published a new patent that reveals that the company is working on making its 3D V-cache tech even better. Back in early 2021, we started hearing the first whispers and murmurs of a new ...

DRAM access latency is typically 50–100 ns, which at 3 GHz corresponds to 150–300 cycles. Latency arises from signal propagation, memory controller scheduling, row activation, and bus turnaround. Each ...

ABSTRACT: The golden age of digital chips seems to be coming to an end. For decades, we have relied on making transistors smaller and increasing clock speeds to improve performance. However, when chip ...

Abstract: Cache memory has been introduced to accelerate embedded system performance and is automatically managed without programmer intervention through hardware-based cache controllers. However, ...
