Researchers at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab have designed a system where programs can have access to ad hoc optimally allocated cache memory. In a simulation test system with ...

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?

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 ...

Again, the processor cores access their data primitives – like 4-byte integers – from the cache, the cache controllers access the memory using larger data blocks.

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 ...

System-on-a-Chip (SoC) designers have a problem, a big problem in fact, Random Access Memory (RAM) is slow, too slow, it just can’t keep up. So they came up with a workaround and it is called cache ...

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 ...

Open Core Protocol (OCP) [1][2] is a common standard for Intellectual Property (IP)core interfaces. OCP facilitates IP core plug-and-play and simplifies reuse by decoupling the cores from the on-chip ...

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