For the vast majority of us, computer memory is a somewhat abstract idea. Whether you’re declaring a variable in Python or setting a register in Verilog, the data goes — somewhere — and the rest ...

The Other-1 Computer’s memory boasted 4k x 16-bit words of magnetic core storage with yesteryear’s IC driving (75325, 75452) and sense (7524) circuitry. The Other-1 Computer’s memory boasted 4k x ...

Although digital computers are – much like their human computer counterparts – about performing calculations, another crucial element is that of memory. After all, you need to fetch values from ...

A surprising, theory-defying effect observed in magnetic devices could lead to efficient, low-power forms of computer memory, according to a new study (Phys. Rev. Lett. 2018, DOI: ...

On this day in tech history, An Wang filed a patent which would become the basis of magnetic core memory. After receiving his PhD in applied physics, Wang began working at the Harvard Computation ...

Some day soon, we may have trouble explaining to our kids the concept of a computer booting up. Just as vacuum-tube radios and their obligatory warm-up time now seem quaint, so too will computers with ...

This iteration of Electronic Design: Now and Then was inspired when I was reading "Using Magnetic Cores in Computers" from our archives. This article was originally published in Electronic Design ...
