A technical paper titled “RevaMp3D: Architecting the Processor Core and Cache Hierarchy for Systems with Monolithically-Integrated Logic and Memory” was published by researchers at ETH Zürich, KMUTNB, ...

Many people have heard the term cache coherency without fully understanding the considerations in the context of system-on-chip (SoC) devices, especially those using a network-on-chip (NoC). To ...

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 ...

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 ...

Matthew is a PC Hardware Writer at XDA, having previously written for Digital Trends, Tom's Hardware, and other publications since 2018. He's mainly interested in the three way fight between AMD, ...

Enterprise AI applications that handle large documents or long-horizon tasks face a severe memory bottleneck. As the context grows longer, so does the KV cache, the area where the model’s working ...

A new proposal could boost cache efficiency and performance significantly, at the very time we need it most. Will CPU designers bite? Share on Facebook (opens in a new window) Share on X (opens in a ...

For decades, computing performance was easy to reduce to a few headline specifications. CPUs were sold on clock speed and core count, GPUs on shader throughput and later teraFLOPS, memory on frequency ...

A new technical paper, “Not All Thoughts Need HBM: Semantics-Aware Memory Hierarchy for LLM Reasoning,” was published by researchers at USC and University of Wisconsin-Madison. “Reasoning LLMs produce ...
