Many people have heard the term cache coherency without fully understanding the considerations in the context of system-on-chip (SoC) devices, especially those using a network-on-chip (NoC). To ...

Similar to the world we live in, a coherent SoC system has truly become a hodgepodge of often conflicting desires, wants, and needs. While some traffic flows are highly sensitive to CAS latency, ...

Mobile devices continue their march toward becoming powerful productivity machines. But they are also major security risks if they aren't managed properly. We look at the latest wisdom and best ...

The dynamic interplay between processor speed and memory access times has rendered cache performance a critical determinant of computing efficiency. As modern systems increasingly rely on hierarchical ...

Modern multicore systems demand sophisticated strategies to manage shared cache resources. As multiple cores execute diverse workloads concurrently, cache interference can lead to significant ...
