Complex chips need coherent and non-coherent sub-NoCs to ensure efficient data paths. Correct hierarchy is essential.

System-Level Design sat down to discuss coherency with Mirit Fromovich, principal solutions engineer at Cadence; Drew Wingard, CTO of Sonics; Mike Gianfagna, vice president of marketing at Atrenta, ...

One of the key challenges in chip multi-processing is to provide a programming model that manages cache coherency in a transparent and efficient way. A large number of applications designed for ...

Scaling processing performance beyond the frequency and power envelope of single core systems has led to the emergence of multi-core clusters. Data access management within such processing systems ...
