Since KV blocks are not required to be contiguous in physical memory, PagedAttention can dynamically allocate blocks on ...

A new technical paper titled “Accelerating LLM Inference via Dynamic KV Cache Placement in Heterogeneous Memory System” was published by researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and IBM.

The dynamic interplay between processor speed and memory access times has rendered cache performance a critical determinant of computing efficiency. As modern systems increasingly rely on hierarchical ...

We have written in the past about the uses of memory and storage in data movement and in AI applications. This piece will talk about digital distribution technology and the role of content caching ...

Virtual directories are touted for their flexibility, but the technology isn’t known for its speed. A virtual directory adds an extra layer of software and intermediate TCP/IP hop. Factor in the ...

Generative AI is arguably the most complex application that humankind has ever created, and the math behind it is incredibly complex even if the results are simple enough to understand. GenAI also it ...

A Cache-Only Memory Architecture design (COMA) may be a sort of Cache-Coherent Non-Uniform Memory Access (CC- NUMA) design. not like in a very typical CC-NUMA design, in a COMA, each shared-memory ...

Intel formally launched the Optane persistent memory product line, which includes 3D Xpoint memory technology. The Intel-only solution is meant to sit between DRAM and NAND and to speed up performance ...
