Managing a cache so that data are not lost or overwritten. For example, when data are updated in a cache but not yet transferred to the target memory or disk, the chance of corruption is greater.

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 ...

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 ...

Bugs in RTL code are problematic, but a bug in an architectural specification can be catastrophic. If the bug remains undetected until post-silicon debugging, the design process essentially starts all ...

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 ...

The dividing lines between system buses, system intraconnects, and system interconnects are getting more blurry all the time. And that is, oddly enough, going to turn out to be a good thing in the ...

In artificial intelligence (AI), especially within deep learning and large-scale data processing, maintaining memory coherence is critical. AI models often rely on extensive parallel processing, where ...

A processor cache is an area of high-speed memory that stores information near the processor. This helps make the processing of common instructions efficient and therefore speeds up computation time.

Coherency is gaining traction across a wide spectrum of applications as systems vendors begin leveraging heterogeneous computing to improve performance, minimize power, and simplify software ...
