The dynamic interplay between processor speed and memory access times has rendered cache performance a critical determinant of computing efficiency. As modern systems increasingly rely on ...

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 ...

This excerpt comprises: Part 1, Basics of Memory Hierarchies, which looked at the key issues surrounding memory hierarchies and set the stage for subsequent installments addressing cache design, ...

A technical paper titled “RevaMp3D: Architecting the Processor Core and Cache Hierarchy for Systems with Monolithically-Integrated Logic and Memory” was published by researchers at ETH Zürich, KMUTNB, ...

These are exciting times for the memory hierarchy in systems. New kinds of DRAM and non-volatile memories are becoming available to system architects to enhance the performance and responsiveness of ...

CodaCache: Helping to Break the Memory Wall A novel configurable last level cache IP with per-master way partitioning, scratchpad RAM allocation, AXI interfaces and functional safety mechanisms.

Using stacked DRAM as a hardware cache has the advantages of being transparent to the OS and perform data management at a line-granularity but suffers from reduced main memory capacity.

However, because we all assume Intel's Nova Lake CPUs will therefore be killer for gaming, simply adding cache memory isn't a guarantee of better frame rates.
