Google researchers have published a new quantization technique called TurboQuant that compresses the key-value (KV) cache in ...

Google has published TurboQuant, a KV cache compression algorithm that cuts LLM memory usage by 6x with zero accuracy loss, ...

A disk or memory cache that supports writing. Data normally written to memory or to disk by the CPU is first written into the cache. During idle machine cycles, the data are written from the cache ...

In the eighties, computer processors became faster and faster, while memory access times stagnated and hindered additional performance increases. Something had to be done to speed up memory access and ...

Enterprise AI applications that handle large documents or long-horizon tasks face a severe memory bottleneck. As the context grows longer, so does the KV cache, the area where the model’s working ...

A memory cache that shares the system bus with main memory and other subsystems. It is slower than inline caches and backside caches. See inline cache and backside cache. THIS DEFINITION IS FOR ...

The gap between the performance of processors, broadly defined, and the performance of DRAM main memory, also broadly defined, has been an issue for at least three decades when the gap really started ...

Why it matters: A RAM drive is traditionally conceived as a block of volatile memory "formatted" to be used as a secondary storage disk drive. RAM disks are extremely fast compared to HDDs or even ...
