The development of caches and caching is one of the most significant events in the history of computing. Virtually every modern CPU core from ultra-low power chips like the ARM Cortex-A5 to the ...

I have a certain basic understanding of how CPUs are made up with functional blocks, stages in a pipeline, why instructions are decoded and dispatched, and a naive understanding of cache hierarchy.

We have described and applied a technique for selection of processor cache configurations for low power using a parameter defined as a product of the cache miss rate and cache size. 1. Introduction ...

Cache memory significantly reduces time and power consumption for memory access in systems-on-chip. Technologies like AMBA protocols facilitate cache coherence and efficient data management across CPU ...

Editor's Note: Multicore architectures find use across a diverse range of applications thanks to their performance and efficiency. By combining several general-purpose MCU cores — or MCU cores and ...
