The purpose of this application note is to familiarize the reader with the Level 1 (L1) CPU cache implementation in the PIC32MZ device family by bringing awareness to the hazards that can occur in a ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Most of us have a pretty simple model of how a computer works. The CPU fetches instructions and data from memory, executes them, and writes data back to memory. That model is a good enough abstraction ...

In the early days of computing, everything ran quite a bit slower than what we see today. This was not only because the computers' central processing units – CPUs – were slow, but also because ...

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 ...
