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 ...

When talking about CPU specifications, in addition to clock speed and number of cores/threads, ' CPU cache memory ' is sometimes mentioned. Developer Gabriel G. Cunha explains what this CPU cache ...

This weekend there has been a lot of chitter-chatter on social media about a new research paper published by academics from the Graz University of Technology in Austria. 'Take Away: Exploring the ...

Once again, a novel "speculative execution side-channel" attack has been discovered by researchers. They show in their paper on the attackthat it will work against modern Intel microprocessors. Intel ...

One of the new processor architectures that Intel will release is Intel ice Lake, some new information was spotted as Intel seems to be creating bigger L1 data 48KB and L2 cache 512KB caches.

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 ...

This paper presents the architecture of a high performance level 2 cache capable of use with a large class of embedded RISC cpu cores. The cache has a number of novel features including advanced ...

Scaling processing performance beyond the frequency and power envelope of single core systems has led to the emergence of multi-core clusters. Data access management within such processing systems ...
