In the intricate world of modern chip architectures, the “memory wall” – the limitations posed by external DRAM accesses on performance and power consumption growing slower than the ability to compute ...

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 ...

Cache coherency, a common technique for improving performance in chips, is becoming less useful as general-purpose processors are supplemented with, and sometimes supplanted by, highly specialized ...

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 ...

Data prefetching has emerged as a critical approach to mitigate the performance bottlenecks imposed by memory access latencies in modern computer architectures. By predicting the data likely to be ...
