It almost always has more memory than the L1 cache, but operates at a slower speed, although still significantly faster than main system memory. Some high-end processors can have a total of 32 MB ...

The diagram below, which was taken from the Intel paper referenced in the introduction, gives a high-level perspective of the parts that must be added to the cache and memory hierarchy for the ...

Core3 as shown in the above figure does a read operation from main memory and stores the data in its L2 cache. Then Core0 reads the same main memory location and stores the data in its L2 cache. So, ...

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

To address this challenge, this article introduces CAMP, a novel DRAM cache architecture for mobile platforms with PCM-based main memory. A DRAM cache in this environment is required to filter most of ...
