The block of memory that is transferred to a memory cache. The cache line is generally fixed in size, typically ranging from 16 to 256 bytes. The effectiveness of the line size depends on the ...

The purpose of this application note is to familiarize the reader with the Level 1 (L1) CPU cache implementation in the PIC32MZ device family by bringing awareness to the hazards that can occur in a ...

If multiple devices, such as the CPU and peripherals, access the same cacheable memory region, cache and memory can become incoherent. This is illustrated in Figure 7. Suppose the CPU accesses a ...

The CPU’s cache reduces memory latency when data is accessed from the main system memory. Developers can and should take advantage of CPU cache to improve application performance. Modern CPUs ...

If you want to get really intimate with hardware, there's nothing like low-level, high-performance coding to remove all barriers between your mind and the silicon. One result, aside from the ...
