A processor cache is an area of high-speed memory that stores information near the processor. This helps make the processing of common instructions efficient and therefore speeds up computation time.

Researchers from the University of Edinburgh and NVIDIA have introduced a new method that helps large language models reason ...

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 ...

Gain insight into the CXL specification. Learn how CXL supports dynamic multiplexing between a rich set of protocols that includes I/O (CLX.io, based on PCIe), caching (CXL.cache), and memory (CXL.mem ...

Big artificial intelligence models are known for using enormous amounts of memory and energy. But a new study suggests that ...

Adaptec has announced a RAID controller series that uses NAND and Supercapacitors to protect data in cache in case of failure. Will Adaptec stand alone? John, a senior partner at Evaluator Group, has ...

Advanced Micro Devices will use cache memory in somewhat novel ways to broaden out its desktop chip line, including its upcoming Athlon64 processor, according to sources. The Sunnyvale, Calif.-based ...

The Google Play Store is home to all sorts of fancy apps and games. Need to seamlessly transfer files from your phone to your laptop wirelessly? You can use Pushbullet for that. Want an app to manage ...

If multiple devices, such as the CPU and peripherals, access the same cacheable memory region, cache and memory can become incoherent. This is illustrated in Figure 7. Suppose the CPU accesses a ...
