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 ...

Google researchers have published a new quantization technique called TurboQuant that compresses the key-value (KV) cache in large language models to 3.5 bits per channel, cutting memory consumption ...

What happens when cache doubles across all cores? A desktop processor design focuses on reducing memory bottlenecks in ...

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 ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. This article discusses memory and chip and system design talks at the 2025 AI Infra Summit in Santa Clara, CA by Kove, Pliops and ...

How lossless data compression can reduce memory and power requirements. How ZeroPoint’s compression technology differs from the competition. One can never have enough memory, and one way to get more ...

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 ...

In C++, the choice of data structures and memory management strategies can make or break performance. From cache-friendly struct layouts to picking between arrays and vectors, every decision impacts ...

The gap between the performance of processors, broadly defined, and the performance of DRAM main memory, also broadly defined, has been an issue for at least three decades when the gap really started ...

AMD is leveraging one of its latest families of EPYC server CPUs, code-named Genoa X, in-house to run the electronic design automation (EDA) tools it uses for product development. Based on TSMC's 5-nm ...
