Wasn't "The Machine" (whoever came up with that name should be whipped with a wet noodle) supposed to have memristors? I skimmed the description, but didn't see any mention of this having memristors, just conventional DIMMs.
- ChuckMcM 10y agoActually it has a very large shared non-volatile memory. HP felt memristors would be a great way to make that memory but as it is pointed out in the article you can make it with regular DRAM and leaving the power on, or with Intel/Micron's cross point (Optane) NV-Dimm tech.
- JohnJamesRambo 10y agoFrom what I have read, the memristors were the goal but they just aren't ready yet. Rather than wait, they implemented The Machine with what is available now.
- outworlder 10y agoIt was. Then again, it's been a few years. In the meantime, other forms of non-volatile memory became cheaper.
