Developed a flexible cache simulator which implemented L1 cache, its Victim cache and L2 cache. Analyzed the performance of various memory hierarchy configurations with varying parameters and ...

Exponential increases in data and demand for improved performance to process that data has spawned a variety of new approaches to processor design and packaging, but it also is driving big changes on ...

The dynamic interplay between processor speed and memory access times has rendered cache performance a critical determinant of computing efficiency. As modern systems increasingly rely on hierarchical ...

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 ...

Hennessy and Patterson had a good base to start from and this new edition is even better. It adds a CD-ROM with additional articles covering topics such as vector processors, interconnect networks and ...
