The Magnetic Racetrack Memory Project is in development by IBM’s Almaden Research Center. Informally called
racetrack memory (RM), it is a
non-volatile memory device that offers a storage density higher than
solid-state memory devices with a higher
read/write performance. The design is a racetrack concept where RM memory moves magnetic bits along nanoscopic “racetracks.” Racetrack memory may be seen abbreviated as RM.
