Moore’s law describes the growth in on-chip transistor density, which doubles every 18 to 24 months and looks set to continue for at least a decade and possibly longer. This grow...
Impulse is a new memory system architecture that adds two important features to a traditional memory controller. First, Impulse supports application-specific optimizations through...
