On this day in tech history, An Wang filed a patent which would become the basis of magnetic core memory. After receiving his PhD in applied physics, Wang began working at the Harvard Computation ...

For the vast majority of us, computer memory is a somewhat abstract idea. Whether you’re declaring a variable in Python or setting a register in Verilog, the data goes — somewhere — and the rest ...

IIIF provides researchers rich metadata and media viewing options for comparison of works across cultural heritage collections. Visit the IIIF page to learn more. The memory cores are arranged in a ...

The Other-1 Computer’s memory boasted 4k x 16-bit words of magnetic core storage with yesteryear’s IC driving (75325, 75452) and sense (7524) circuitry. The Other-1 Computer’s memory boasted 4k x ...

IBM and TDK are jointly researching and developing a new form of high-speed computer memory that should use less power, last forever and hold information when power is lost. The companies are looking ...

Many Hackaday readers will be familiar with the term “core memory”, likely thanks to its close association with the Apollo Guidance Computer. But knowing that the technology existed at one point and ...

Hard disk drives sure have come a long way, baby. In the 1950s, storage hardware was measured in feet—and in tons. Back then, the era’s state-of-the-art computer drive was found in IBM’s RAMAC 305; it ...
