It doesn't store a lot.

Core memory, magnetized memory using tiny magnetic rings suspended on a grid of wires, is now more than five decades obsolete, yet it exerts a fascination for hardware hackers still. Not least [Andy ...

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 ...

It's back to the future with magnetic non-volatile primary storage. Operating systems and embedded applications will need to handle multiple memory types. Magnetic core storage used to be everywhere, ...

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 ...

Since its 1970 debut, DRAM has supplanted magnetic core memory as an essential element in von Neumann's computer architecture. By the mid-1980s, fueled by the popularity of PCs and workstations, DRAM ...

This iteration of Electronic Design: Now and Then was inspired when I was reading "Using Magnetic Cores in Computers" from our archives. This article was originally published in Electronic Design ...

Magnetic Core memory was the RAM at the heart of many computer systems through the 1970s, and is undergoing something of a resurgence today since it is easiest form of memory for an enterprising ...
