In a simulation test system with 36 cores, 'Jenga' CPU cache memory access increased processing speed by 20 to 30 per cent and energy efficiency by as much as 85 per cent.

One of the most important parts of a processor is the buffer memory, also called the cache. What is it responsible for and how does it work?

System-on-chip (SoC) architects have a new memory technology, last level cache (LLC), to help overcome the design obstacles of bandwidth, latency and power consumption in megachips for advanced driver ...

Students expressed creativity and ingenuity in the design of practical, microcontroller-based embedded systems for their final course projects.

Part 1 looks at the key issues surrounding memory hierarchies and sets the stage for subsequent installments addressing cache design, memory optimization, and design approaches. Part 2, Ten advanced ...

CPU cache memory was developed to keep up with the demands of processors when they outpaced the speed of system memory (RAM) in the 1980s. Today's CPUs feature enormous amounts of cache memory ...
