A lot of interesting things happening with persistent memory, increase in NAND
interface speeds, etc.:
<<Memory appetite among developers is insatiable. Likewise, memory hierarchies are becoming even more complex. For example, the memory bus may now have different DIMMs installed. Hard drives could be part of the mix, but they’re way out on the periphery where capacity and price trumps performance.
Still, memory technology is one area that continues to push the limits with long-term growth almost assured, especially when compared to CPUs and even GPUs that are frequency-challenged. Increasing and improving cores is great, but memory technologies lend themselves to this type of scalability as well.
As Bob Hope used to say, “Thanks for the memory.”>>
