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 ...

Part 1 looks at the key issues surrounding memory hierarchies and sets the stage for subsequent installments addressing cache design, memory optimization, and design approaches. Part 2, Ten advanced ...

The authors report on the design of efficient cache controller suitable for use in FPGA-based processors. Semiconductor memory which can operate at speeds comparable with the operation of the ...

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).

According to Micron, memory systems are more complicated than they appear. Within a given memory bandwidth, system performance can be influenced by factors like access pattern, locality, and time to ...

2.3 Memory Technology and Optimizations Main memory is the next level down in the hierarchy. Main memory satisfies the demands of caches and serves as the I/O interface, as it is the destination of ...
