Many heavyweight tech companies such as Microsoft, NVIDIA, Qualcomm, and IBM are investing in VR. Caltech is using VR to improve […]
The complexities of cache
Traditionally a cache is a safe place to keep things hidden until you can retrieve them. However, a cache within computer terminology is any storage that is managed to take advantage of location for rapid access. Cache is local memory that exists in the data path between the processor and main memory. A cache will […]
How are we tapping into the potential of VR?
Virtual Reality (VR) technology was primarily used by video gamers to play 3-D games. Not anymore. The technology has changed so much over the years that now medical, sports, training, industrial, and many more applications use it. And it has significant business potential. So what is VR? Manufacturer STMicroelectronics has spent a great deal of […]
