The new silicon oxide nanocrystal memory isn't the only memory technology that could unseat NAND flash. Something called phase change memory (PCM) is shipping today. PCM offers some key advantages ...

Abstract: Due to its properties of high density, in-place update, and low standby power, phase change memory (PCM) becomes a promising main memory alternative in embedded systems. On the other hand, ...

Abstract: This paper presents an advanced PCM-Flash hybrid memory structure for the integrated memory-disk (IMD) structure merging the conventional main memory and disk storage into a single memory ...

In a terrific demo of the wrong technology for the Flash Memory Summit, HGST is showing a PCIe-connected Phase Change Memory device running at three million IOPS with a 1.5 microsecs read latency.

EMC's flash exec expects Phase Change Memory - one of the possible non-volatile successors to flash - to appear in storage architectures from next year. Phase Change Memory exploits the differing ...

Phase-change memory (PCM) is a term used to describe a class of nonvolatile memory devices that exploit the ability of certain materials to rapidly change phase between two stable physical states.

Scientists over at IBM have discovered a faster and more cost effective optical memory standard that bests even the likes of non-volatile flash memory. The company dubs it as “phase-change memory” ...

Savior of the universe! It’s IT Blogwatch, in which a future competitor to flash memory breaks cover. Not to mention a schadenfreud-ful video of Honda’s Asimo robot falling down some stairs… Dan ...
