Efficient large-scale graph processing is crucial to many disciplines. Yet, while graph algorithms naturally expose massive parallelism opportunities, their performance is limited by the memory system because of irregular memory accesses. State-of-the-art ...
Unstructured neural network pruning algorithms have achieved impressive compression ratios. However, the resulting-typically irregular-sparse matrices hamper efficient hardware implementations, leading to additional memory usage and complex control logic t ...
The learning of a new language remains to this date a cognitive task that requires considerable diligence and willpower, recent advances and tools notwithstanding. In this paper, we propose Broccoli, a new paradigm aimed at reducing the required effort by ...
Recent advances in GPUs opened a new opportunity in harnessing their computing power for general purpose computing. CUDA, an extension to C programming, is developed for programming NVIDIA GPUs. However, efficiently programming GPUs using CUDA is very tedi ...
Engram cells can encode and switch between multiple mnemonic functions, but how they intrinsically do so is unknown. Pignatelli, Ryan, and colleagues show that upon memory recall, the engram's excitability is transiently elevated, allowing its bearer to ad ...
Non-volatile memory (NVM) technologies such as PCM, ReRAM and STT-RAM allow processors to directly write values to persistent storage at speeds that are significantly faster than previous durable media such as hard drives or SSDs. Many applications of NVM ...
Memory colours refer to the colour of specific image regions that have the essential attribute of being perceived in a consistent manner by human observers. In colour correction-or rendering-tasks, this consistency implies that they have to be faithfully r ...
Stress is a strong modulator of memory function. However, memory is not a unitary process and stress seems to exert different effects depending on the memory type under study. Here, we explored the impact of social stress on different aspects of human memo ...
Memory colours refer to the colour of specific image classes that have the essential attribute of being perceived in a consistent manner by human observers. In colour correction or rendering tasks, this consistency implies that they have to be faithfully r ...
Several recent studies identify the memory system as the most frequent source of hardware failures in commercial servers. Techniques to protect the memory system from failures must continue to service memory requests, despite hardware failures. Furthermore ...
