With high latency sub-systems, the CPU will move on to other tasks, and then go back for the data once it is finally available. A handy heuristic is to use 1 microsecond as the dividing line between ...

The memory hierarchy is going to be smashed open, with new layers of pooled and switched memory. What Prakash Chauhan, a hardware engineer who worked at converged infrastructure pioneer Egenera back ...

Conventional microarchitectures choose a single memory hierarchy design point targeted at the average application. In this paper, we propose a cache and TLB layout and design that leverages repeater ...

Computer Memory Hierarchy is a pyramid structure that is commonly used to illustrate the significant differences among memory types. This diagram and variations of it can be found on various ...

As GPU's compute capabilities grow, their memory hierarchy increasingly becomes a bottleneck. Current GPU memory hierarchies use coarse-grained memory accesses to exploit spatial locality, maximize ...
