Computer Scientist Proves You Don’t Always Need More Memory (Space) For Faster Computing

MIT’s Ryan Williams discovers how to speed up computing with less memory.

Computer scientists and those IT guys know this - Time and Memory — often referred to as “Space” — are the two core resources in computing. Any algorithm needs 2 elements - time to execute and space to hold its data during execution. Previously, it was believed that the best possible algorithms for various tasks used space directly tied to their running…
