One of the most important parts of a processor is the buffer memory, also called the cache. What is it responsible for and how does it work?

In a simulation test system with 36 cores, 'Jenga' CPU cache memory access increased processing speed by 20 to 30 per cent and energy efficiency by as much as 85 per cent.

What do you get when you cross a modern super-scalar out-of-order CPU core with more traditional microcontroller aspects such as no virtual memory, no memory cache, and no DDR or PCIe controllers? … ...

Exponential increases in data and demand for improved performance to process that data has spawned a variety of new approaches to processor design and packaging, but it also is driving big changes on ...

ZeroPoint’s CacheMX, which works at the cache level, is IP that’s included with a processor’s IP. The lossless compression system also manages the compressed data (Fig. 1).

Genoa X uses AMD’s 3D chip-stacking technology, V-Cache, for additional on-chip memory. AMD is leveraging one of its latest families of EPYC server CPUs, code-named Genoa X, in-house to run the ...
