Advanced students of electrical engineering and researchers in computing and telecommunications will find High Performance Memories, Revised an invaluable reference.

About this title

From the Publisher

Traditional DRAM memories can no longer keep up with the speed of current microprocessors. To solve the problem, many workstation and mainframe manufacturers are experimenting with high speed memories. With implications for the entire semiconductor industry, high speed memory is on the minds of many and is the primary focus of this book, one of the first to fully explore this new development.
