The memory hierarchy (including caches and main memory) can consume as much as 50% of an embedded system power. This power is very application dependent, and tuning caches for a given application is a ...

The year so far has been filled with news of Spectre and Meltdown. These exploits take advantage of features like speculative execution, and memory access timing. What they have in common is the fact ...

The shorter the distance application data has to travel to drive a web application, the better the user experience will be. Developers have a wide array of places to use a data cache, but each comes ...

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 ...

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 ...

Scalable memory array developer Violin Memory this week unveiled a new multiterabyte capacity solid-state cache memory system aimed at increasing the storage performance of enterprise applications.

Caching a JavaServer Pages (JSP) block can give a Web developer freedom to add complex information that would otherwise bring a Web server to its knees. Some examples of that complex information ...

In the eighties, computer processors became faster and faster, while memory access times stagnated and hindered additional performance increases. Something had to be done to speed up memory access and ...

The cache is soldered to the board, so yer out of luck there. In theory, the Aladdin 5 could cache up to 512, but the early chipsets had a flaw in the cache tag RAM that caused the 128 MB limitation.

The concept of cache memory can be a source of confusion for many Android users. On the one hand, it promises faster app loading and smoother performance. On the other hand, it can occupy valuable ...
