The continuous growing gap between CPU and memory speeds is an important drawback in the overall computer performance. Starting by identifying the problem and the complexity behind it, this communication addresses the recent past and current efforts to attenuate their disparity, namely memory hierarchy strategies, improvement of bus controllers and the development of smarter memories. This communication ends by pointing directions to the technology evolution for the next few years.
