Architectures may allow or disallow unaligned memory access. While no special guidelines are required when unaligned memory access is allowed, if disallowed, the programmer must be careful. Ignoring ...

San Jose, Calif. – There haven't been any design tools to date that allowed chip architects to analyze cache and memory efficiency and how they relate to dynamic power consumption. PowerEscape Inc. is ...

In the world of regular computing, we are used to certain ways of architecting for memory access to meet latency, bandwidth and power goals. These have evolved over many years to give us the multiple ...

“A long battery life is a first-class design objective for mobile devices, and main memory accounts for a major portion of total energy consumption. Moreover, the energy consumption from memory is ...

A next-generation storage infrastructure designed to help AI systems handle massive context memory and multi-turn reasoning ...

In the eighties, computer processors became faster and faster, while memory access times stagnated and hindered additional performance increases. Something had to be done to speed up memory access and ...

A Cache-Only Memory Architecture design (COMA) may be a sort of Cache-Coherent Non-Uniform Memory Access (CC- NUMA) design. not like in a very typical CC-NUMA design, in a COMA, each shared-memory ...

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 ...

Intel released a new CPU model this week, the Intel Core i9 7900X, which is the latest model to feature a new cache architecture that hardware experts believe it will make exploitation of side-channel ...
