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 ...

Most people are familiar with data in the form of a spreadsheet, with labeled columns of different data types such as name, address, age, and so on. Databases work the same way, with each table laid ...

Seventy years after the invention of a data structure called a hash table, theoreticians have found the most efficient possible configuration for it. About 70 years ago, an engineer at IBM named Hans ...

Researchers from the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory have developed a new application to increase efficiency in memory systems for high-performance computing. Rather than allow ...

Cambridge scientists have developed a new prototype for computer memory that could make for faster chips that could hold up to 100 times more data. The system is made up of barium bridges between ...

Alternative long-term media include optical discs rated for 5 to 100 years, with M-DISC advertising a lifespan of 1,000 years ...

An international collaborative research team has discovered that G-quadraplex DNA (G4-DNA) accumulates in neurons and dynamically controls the activation and repression of genes underlying long-term ...
