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 ...

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 ...

The year so far has been filled with news of Spectre and Meltdown. These exploits take advantage of features like speculative execution, and memory access timing. What they have in common is the fact ...

Cache memory significantly reduces time and power consumption for memory access in systems-on-chip. Technologies like AMBA protocols facilitate cache coherence and efficient data management across CPU ...

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 ...

Editor’s Note: Demand for increasing functionality and performance in systems designs continues to drive the need for more memory even as hardware engineers balance the dynamics of system capability, ...

AMD is leveraging one of its latest families of EPYC server CPUs, code-named Genoa X, in-house to run the electronic design automation (EDA) tools it uses for product development. Based on TSMC's 5-nm ...
