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 ...

A Cache-Only Memory Architecture design (COMA) may be a sort of Cache-Coherent Non-Uniform Memory Access (CC- NUMA) design. not like in a very typical CC-NUMA design, in a COMA, each shared-memory ...

In the most simple computer system architecture, all control lies with the CPU (Central Processing Unit). This means not only the execution of commands that affect the CPU’s internal register or cache ...

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 ...

Intel released a new CPU model this week, the Intel Core i9 7900X, which is the latest model to feature a new cache architecture that hardware experts believe it will make exploitation of side-channel ...

There are three levels of Processor Cache viz; L1, L2, and L3. The more L2 and L3 cache your system has, the faster the data will be fetched, the faster the program will be executed, and the more ...

Intel’s Optane Module will make a world of difference for users stuck with traditional hard drives. Those drives must be in higher-end Kaby Lake systems running Windows 10, though. Intel’s Optane ...
