A CPU relies on various kinds of storage to optimally run programs and power a computer. These include components like hard disks and SSDs for long-term storage, RAM and GPU memory for fast, temporary ...

The development of caches and caching is one of the most significant events in the history of computing. Virtually every modern CPU core from ultra-low power chips like the ARM Cortex-A5 to the ...

I was checking out the specs at intel.com and noticed that the P4 has something called "12K µops L1 Execution Trace Cache" which is "8KB L1 data cache" <BR>The Pentium III has 32K L1 Cache (16K for ...

A processor cache is an area of high-speed memory that stores information near the processor. This helps make the processing of common instructions efficient and therefore speeds up computation time.

A new technical paper titled “MemPool: A Scalable Manycore Architecture with a Low-Latency Shared L1 Memory” was published by researchers at ETH Zurich and University of Bologna. “Shared L1 memory ...

Some design teams creating system-on-chip (SoC) devices are fortunate to work with the latest and greatest technology nodes coupled with a largely unconstrained budget for acquiring intellectual ...

Based on the vendor’s TMS320C64x+ core, the 900-MHz TMS320C6452 DSP (digital-signal processor) delivers twice the L1 cache memory and 40% more L2 cache than the C6415T. The code-compatible DSP ...
