A Cache-Only Memory Architecture design (COMA) may be a sort of Cache-Coherent Non-Uniform Memory Access (CC- NUMA) design. not like in a very typical CC-NUMA design, in a COMA, each shared-memory ...

In the eighties, computer processors became faster and faster, while memory access times stagnated and hindered additional performance increases. Something had to be done to speed up memory access and ...

Editor’s Note: Demand for increasing functionality and performance in systems designs continues to drive the need for more memory even as hardware engineers balance the dynamics of system capability, ...

This paper presents the architecture of a high performance level 2 cache capable of use with a large class of embedded RISC cpu cores. The cache has a number of novel features including advanced ...

The memory hierarchy (including caches and main memory) can consume as much as 50% of an embedded system power. This power is very application dependent, and tuning caches for a given application is a ...

A technical paper titled “HMComp: Extending Near-Memory Capacity using Compression in Hybrid Memory” was published by researchers at Chalmers University of Technology and ZeroPoint Technologies.
