The 2014 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded to three researchers who discovered how the brain navigates the world. Their work may also help illuminate how the mind stores memories.

A memory map is the bridge between a system-on-chip (SoC) and the firmware and software that is executed on it. Engineers may assume the map automatically appears, but the reality is much more ...

The brain systems involved in guiding navigation, the hippocampus and entorhinal cortex, are the same that support declarative memories 9,10. How are the navigation mechanisms, then, related to the ...

A process may map files to its address space, thereby creating a 1-to-1 equivalence between the files’ data and its corresponding memory-mapped region. Memory mapping has several uses: Dynamic loading ...

Once the processor is running and memory has been initialized, timers and devices must be started up and a memory map laid out. Only then, can the OS be loaded. In the first part of this article, I ...

A new technical paper titled “Leveraging Chiplet-Locality for Efficient Memory Mapping in Multi-Chip Module GPUs” was published by researchers at Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute ...

All Windows operating systems are configured to capture information about its state in the event of a stop error or system crash and save them as .dmp crash dump ...

With memory pages shared among applications, sometimes it’s hard to tell how much you’ll really save by killing that memory hog. Two new memory metrics offer help for busy administrators. Anybody who ...

Even though a computer’s memory map looks pretty smooth and very much byte-addressable at first glance, the same memory on a hardware level is a lot more bumpy. An essential term a developer may come ...
