One of the greatest challenges facing the designers of many-core processors is resource contention. The chart below visually lays out the problem of resource contention, but for most of us the idea is ...

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 ...

What is the “Disk Cache”? The disk cache is used to store disk information in RAM. Access to RAM is faster than the hard disk, so the information will be available more rapidly. How to increase the ...

System-on-chip (SoC) architects have a new memory technology, last level cache (LLC), to help overcome the design obstacles of bandwidth, latency and power consumption in megachips for advanced driver ...

Gone is the day that you need a battery backup for Adaptec's RAID controller cards, as the company has introduced a NAND flash cache and capacitor duo. The company's series 5 RAID cards use cache ...

Gain insight into the CXL specification. Learn how CXL supports dynamic multiplexing between a rich set of protocols that includes I/O (CLX.io, based on PCIe), caching (CXL.cache), and memory (CXL.mem ...

There's an exciting new graphics card memory technology on the horizon that could see huge gains in one of the most important aspects of GPUs: memory bandwidth. The new GPU SCM with DRAM tech can ...

Welcome back to the high end, AMD. For the first time since the days of the Radeon R9 290X—seven long years ago—AMD’s Radeon group is prepared to unleash enthusiast-level graphics cards that can do ...
