A cache memory controller IP core available from semiconductor intellectual property provider CAST, Inc. brings cost- and resource-effective improvements in performance, bandwidth, and function to ...

The authors report on the design of efficient cache controller suitable for use in FPGA-based processors. Semiconductor memory which can operate at speeds comparable with the operation of the ...

Last time, I discussed Port80 Software’s Web content compression tools (see editorial links below). Port80 recently conducted the first survey of the use of expiration-based cache control by Fortune ...

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.

In a computer, the entire memory can be separated into different levels based on access time and capacity. Figure 1 shows different levels in the memory hierarchy. Smaller and faster memories are kept ...

If multiple devices, such as the CPU and peripherals, access the same cacheable memory region, cache and memory can become incoherent. This is illustrated in Figure 7. Suppose the CPU accesses a ...
