Many people have heard the term cache coherency without fully understanding the considerations in the context of system-on-chip (SoC) devices, especially those using a network-on-chip (NoC). To ...
A technical paper titled “RevaMp3D: Architecting the Processor Core and Cache Hierarchy for Systems with Monolithically-Integrated Logic and Memory” was published by researchers at ETH Zürich, KMUTNB, ...
A new proposal could boost cache efficiency and performance significantly, at the very time we need it most. Will CPU designers bite? Share on Facebook (opens in a new window) Share on X (opens in a ...
In this paper, the authors analyze the trade-offs in architecting stacked DRAM either as part of main memory or as a hardware-managed cache. Using stacked DRAM as part of main memory increases the ...
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 ...
