Developed a flexible cache simulator which implemented L1 cache, its Victim cache and L2 cache. Analyzed the performance of various memory hierarchy configurations with varying parameters and ...

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 ...

Editor’s Note: Demand for increasing functionality and performance in systems designs continues to drive the need for more memory even as hardware engineers balance the dynamics of system capability, ...

This section describes three topics discussed in other chapters that are fundamental to memory hierarchies. Protection and Instruction Set Architecture Protection is a joint effort of architecture and ...

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 ...

The memory and storage hierarchy is a useful way of thinking about computer systems, and the dizzying array of memory options available to the system designer. Many different parameters characterize ...

A new proposal could boost cache efficiency and performance significantly, at the very time we need it most. Will CPU designers bite? Share on Facebook (opens in a new window) Share on X (opens in a ...
