The microprocessor-memory gap has been growing for over 30 years, and in that time caches have been crucial components in digital system design. All high-performance microprocessors are designed with ...

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.

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 ...

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?

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 ...

Genoa X uses AMD’s 3D chip-stacking technology, V-Cache, for additional on-chip memory. AMD is leveraging one of its latest families of EPYC server CPUs, code-named Genoa X, in-house to run the ...

Today Luke is reviewing the new amd Ryzen 7 5800X3D processor. Featuring AMD's 3D V-Cache technology, Luke finds out exactly ...

What do you get when you cross a modern super-scalar out-of-order CPU core with more traditional microcontroller aspects such as no virtual memory, no memory cache, and no DDR or PCIe controllers? … ...

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