The patent was filed 18 months ago, and there's no further indication of ongoing development ...

To minimize the performance advantage of specialized hardware, a proof of work (PoW) algorithm must achieve device binding by targeting specific features of existing general-purpose hardware. This is ...

Abstract: The key-value (KV) cache in large language models (LLMs) now necessitates a substantial amount of memory capacity as its size proportionally grows with the context’s size. Recently, ...

Conventional memory schemes follow the Pareto Principle, in which approximately maintaining 20% hot data can meet 80% of requests. Large-scale applications, such as generative AI, recommendation ...

Memory serves as the cornerstone of foundation model-based agents, underpinning their ability to perform long-horizon reasoning, adapt continually, and interact effectively with complex environments.

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 ...
