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?

Applying OCP and the OCP coherence extensions described in the previous section to the directory-based multiprocessor design shown in Figure 1 allow the system-level cache coherence to be enforced by ...

Historically, memory coherence in multiprocessor systems was often achieved through bus ‘snooping,’ where each core was connected to a common multi-tier bus and was able to snoop on memory access ...

The authors report on the design of efficient cache controller suitable for use in FPGA-based processors. Semiconductor memory which can operate at speeds comparable with the operation of the ...

Cache Partitioning: The process of dividing a processor's cache memory into distinct segments allocated to individual applications or cores to reduce interference and improve performance.

CPU cache can have a big effect on processor and system performance. But what is cache, and what does it do? Read on to find out.

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

Spectre and Meltdown: Insecurity at the heart of modern CPU design Newly-discovered flaws in many processors threaten performance hits and continued security headaches.
