The transition to high-definition digital television and the consumer push toward ever-larger and higher-resolution flat-panel displays have introduced new challenges for OEMs and systems integrators.

A technical paper titled “HMComp: Extending Near-Memory Capacity using Compression in Hybrid Memory” was published by researchers at Chalmers University of Technology and ZeroPoint Technologies.

A processor cache is an area of high-speed memory that stores information near the processor. This helps make the processing of common instructions efficient and therefore speeds up computation time.
