Intel’s upcoming Nova Lake processor introduces a different approach to its cache architecture by having two performance cores share a 4MB L2 cache. This change is a departure from the current Arrow ...

A Cache-Only Memory Architecture design (COMA) may be a sort of Cache-Coherent Non-Uniform Memory Access (CC- NUMA) design. not like in a very typical CC-NUMA design, in a COMA, each shared-memory ...

This paper presents the architecture of a high performance level 2 cache capable of use with a large class of embedded RISC cpu cores. The cache has a number of novel features including advanced ...

In the eighties, computer processors became faster and faster, while memory access times stagnated and hindered additional performance increases. Something had to be done to speed up memory access and ...

When talking about CPU specifications, in addition to clock speed and number of cores/threads, ' CPU cache memory ' is sometimes mentioned. Developer Gabriel G. Cunha explains what this CPU cache ...

MIT researchers are getting ready to unveil what they say is the first fundamentally new approach to cache coherence in more than three decades. They reminded that in a modern, multicore chip, every ...

While traditional single core systems employ a dedicated cache, theintroduction of multi-core platforms presents the opportunity toconsider the shared use of cache by multiple processors. Designs ...

Editor's Note: Multicore architectures find use across a diverse range of applications thanks to their performance and efficiency. By combining several general-purpose MCU cores — or MCU cores and ...

Intel released a new CPU model this week, the Intel Core i9 7900X, which is the latest model to feature a new cache architecture that hardware experts believe it will make exploitation of side-channel ...

“A long battery life is a first-class design objective for mobile devices, and main memory accounts for a major portion of total energy consumption. Moreover, the energy consumption from memory is ...
