In 1977, John Backus wrote a seminal paper titled, Can Programming Be Liberated From the von Neumann Style? In this paper, Backus defined the implications of what we refer to today as the “memory ...

The performance of a business computer at everyday tasks largely depends on two factors: its processor speed and the amount of memory it has. The processor's speed comes from its clock, a timing ...

The world's servers are headed for a wall. And Russell Fish aims to break through it. As the Intels of the world pack more and more processors into the chips running today's supercomputers and massive ...
