The year so far has been filled with news of Spectre and Meltdown. These exploits take advantage of features like speculative execution, and memory access timing. What they have in common is the fact ...

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

In the early days of computing, everything ran quite a bit slower than what we see today. This was not only because the computers' central processing units – CPUs – were slow, but also because ...

A process may map files to its address space, thereby creating a 1-to-1 equivalence between the files’ data and its corresponding memory-mapped region. Memory mapping has several uses: Dynamic loading ...

Caches are increasingly common in DSPs, but many DSP programmers are unfamiliar with their operation. This article explains how caches work, using the two-level cache in TI's C64x as an example. It ...

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, ...

A new technical paper titled “Leveraging Chiplet-Locality for Efficient Memory Mapping in Multi-Chip Module GPUs” was published by researchers at Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute ...

In addition to single-nucleotide variations and small insertions-deletions (indels), larger-sized structural variations (for example, insertions, deletions, inversions, segmental duplications and copy ...
