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 ...

As AI workloads extend across nearly every technology sector, systems must move more data, use memory more efficiently, and respond more predictably than traditional design methodologies allow. These ...

Open Core Protocol (OCP) [1][2] is a common standard for Intellectual Property (IP)core interfaces. OCP facilitates IP core plug-and-play and simplifies reuse by decoupling the cores from the on-chip ...

A number of discussion areas are harboring complaints of failing level 2 caches on Apple's Lombard PowerBooks. As noted by Marc P., for some, the PowerBook woks fine without the L2 cache, albeit ...

As discussed in part one, one of the reasons cache coherency is becoming more important is the shared common memory resource in designs today. Various agents in the design want to access the data the ...
