The development of caches and caching is one of the most significant events in the history of computing. Virtually every modern CPU core from ultra-low power chips like the ARM Cortex-A5 to the ...

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 ...

This weekend there has been a lot of chitter-chatter on social media about a new research paper published by academics from the Graz University of Technology in Austria. 'Take Away: Exploring the ...

Some design teams creating system-on-chip (SoC) devices are fortunate to work with the latest and greatest technology nodes coupled with a largely unconstrained budget for acquiring intellectual ...

I was checking out the specs at intel.com and noticed that the P4 has something called "12K µops L1 Execution Trace Cache" which is "8KB L1 data cache" <BR>The Pentium III has 32K L1 Cache (16K for ...

We have heard in recent leaks that we can expect full overclocking support from the new Zen 5-based Ryzen 9000X3D processors, but now we're hearing about the three SKUs -- Ryzen 9 9950X3D, Ryzen 9 ...

Let the era of 3D V-Cache in HPC begin. Inspired by the idea of AMD’s “Milan-X” Epyc 7003 processors with their 3D V-Cache stacked L3 cache memory and then propelled by actual benchmark tests pitting ...

A processor cache is an area of high-speed memory that stores information near the processor. This helps make the processing of common instructions efficient and therefore speeds up computation time.
