Don't worry, i dont think its called that but it may as well be.

Group of scientists in america are developing a module of memory/ RAM which has the speeds of normal RAM or DRAM but they normal lose data after your power down your computer.

These new modules are believed to store your data for several years without power, due to the combination of volatile and non-volatile memory being in the same module. This in effect will lead to computers being able to boot up almost instantly, as claims by the scientists are read on this topic - can be found below!

Personally i think its revolutionary, as you can just turn on your pc, without having to wait for 30 seconds or so, not much but it does save a little bit of time. As well as that it also makes references to servers running which dont necessarily have to be and could be turned off with this new RAM and still have all the data store, allowing for instant re-boot.

Comments are obviously welcome, but no outrageous remarks...and i do apologize if this in anyway has already been brought up or posted somewhere on these forums, just thought id share.

:p if you could add a few more words to that, so i could really know what your getting at, would be grand, :p
the D in DRAM means dynamic, just like S in SRAM means static, its not a fancy new technology or a new paradigm or anything, it just how that particular form or random access memory works
 
So it will be large scale flash memory with RAM/DRAM characteristics. So it’s quite natural progression in memory technology. That will be quite something. Thanks for the link. :)
