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 ...
Cache coherency, a common technique for improving performance in chips, is becoming less useful as general-purpose processors are supplemented with, and sometimes supplanted by, highly specialized ...
In a modern, multicore chip, every core -- or processor -- has its own small memory cache, where it stores frequently used data. But the chip also has a larger, shared cache, which all the cores can ...
A new technical paper titled “Learning Cache Coherence Traffic for NoC Routing Design” was published by researchers at Nanyang Technological University. “In this work, we propose a cache ...
Moreover, cache coherence is an especially important protocol to verify. A cache-coherence bug could result in a silent data corruption that would disrupt system functionality. A formal tool for ...
In today’s digital economy, high-scale applications must perform flawlessly, even during peak demand periods. With modern caching strategies, organizations can deliver high-speed experiences at scale.
