A technical paper titled “Scalable Hierarchical Instruction Cache for Ultra-Low-Power Processors Clusters” was published by researchers at University of Bologna, ETH Zurich, and GreenWaves ...

Editor's Note: This is part 2 of a four-part series. In part 1, we showed how to do efficient 4×4 complex matrix inversion on the StarCore SC3850. The newly released Freescale SC3850 StarCore DSP ...

The i7 supports the x86-64 instruction set architecture, a 64-bit extension of the 80×86 architecture. The i7 is an out-of-order execution processor that includes four cores. In this chapter, we focus ...

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 ...

We have described and applied a technique for selection of processor cache configurations for low power using a parameter defined as a product of the cache miss rate and cache size. 1. Introduction ...

System-on-a-Chip (SoC) designers have a problem, a big problem in fact, Random Access Memory (RAM) is slow, too slow, it just can’t keep up. So they came up with a workaround and it is called cache ...

In this article, we'll take a look at how L3 cache capacity affects gaming performance. More specifically, we'll be examining AMD's Zen 3-based Ryzen processors in a "for science" type of feature.
