This paper presents the architecture of a high performance level 2 cache capable of use with a large class of embedded RISC cpu cores. The cache has a number of novel features including advanced ...

A number of discussion areas are harboring complaints of failing level 2 caches on Apple's Lombard PowerBooks. As noted by Marc P., for some, the PowerBook woks fine without the L2 cache, albeit ...

A CPU relies on various kinds of storage to optimally run programs and power a computer. These include components like hard disks and SSDs for long-term storage, RAM and GPU memory for fast, temporary ...

Open Core Protocol (OCP) [1][2] is a common standard for Intellectual Property (IP)core interfaces. OCP facilitates IP core plug-and-play and simplifies reuse by decoupling the cores from the on-chip ...

Editor's Note: Multicore architectures find use across a diverse range of applications thanks to their performance and efficiency. By combining several general-purpose MCU cores — or MCU cores and ...

AMD is working on a mysterious dual-cache Ryzen processor, and early benchmarks give us a glimpse of what its bigger L3 cache ...
