As discussed in part one, one of the reasons cache coherency is becoming more important is the shared common memory resource in designs today. Various agents in the design want to access the data the ...

A new technical paper titled “WARDen: Specializing Cache Coherence for High-Level Parallel Languages” was published by researchers at Northwestern University and Carnegie Mellon University.

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 ...

You hear a lot about cache coherency these days. In fact, at the recent Linley processor conference, no fewer than three companies announced new cache-coherent networks-on-chip (NoCs). The first cache ...

SAN JOSE, Calif., June 30, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Breker Verification Systems, the leading provider of advanced test content synthesis solutions, including RISC-V Cache Coherency and other SoC ...

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 ...

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.
