The rapid evolution of persistent memory (PM) technologies has spurred a significant shift in how data structures and algorithms are designed and implemented. Persistent memory, offering ...

Some techies are capable of writing programs in assembler, but all will agree that they are very glad that they don’t need to. More know that they are fully capable of writing programs which manage ...

With a few exceptions, the announcements at Oracle OpenWorld last week were largely aimed at filling in the blanks of its cloud and data platform portfolio. ZDNet colleague Stephanie Condon was on the ...

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 ...

This article is part of the Technology Insight series, made possible with funding from Intel. For the last two years, we’ve been writing about Intel Optane persistent memory, knowing that scores of ...
