The gap between the performance of processors, broadly defined, and the performance of DRAM main memory, also broadly defined, has been an issue for at least three decades when the gap really started ...

CodaCache Last-Level Cache (LLC) IP, is a configurable, standalone cache designed to enhance system performance, data locality, scalability, power efficiency, and cost-effectiveness in system-on-chip ...

Intel processors are vulnerable to a new attack that can leak data from the CPU's internal memory -- also known as the cache. The attack, described as "Snoop-assisted L1 Data Sampling," or just Snoop ...

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 ...

How lossless data compression can reduce memory and power requirements. How ZeroPoint’s compression technology differs from the competition. One can never have enough memory, and one way to get more ...

Memory limitations to performance, always important in modern systems, have become an especially significant concern in automotive safety-critical applications making use of AI methods. On one hand, ...

In this special guest feature from Scientific Computing World, Intel’s Cedric Andreolli, Jim Cownie and Kate Antakova explain how the Roofline model can be used to improve HPC code. High performance ...

I'm sure you've encountered a point when moving files to a solid-state drive (SSD) suddenly grinds to an unexpected halt, and wondered what was causing this to take place. After all, the manufacturer ...
