LLC, positioned between external memory and internal subsystems, stores frequently accessed data close to compute resources.

MIT researchers developed Attention Matching, a KV cache compaction technique that compresses LLM memory by 50x in seconds — ...

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 ...

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, ...

AI infrastructure can't evolve as fast as model innovation. Memory architecture is one of the few levers capable of accelerating deployment cycles. Enter SOCAMM2 ...

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 ...

In a computer, the entire memory can be separated into different levels based on access time and capacity. Figure 1 shows different levels in the memory hierarchy. Smaller and faster memories are kept ...

This Application Note explores the implications associated with performing Direct Memory Access (DMA) operations on an ARM multi-core system such as the ARM11 MPCore and Cortex-A9 MPCore. The target ...

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 ...

How lossless data compression can reduce memory and power requirements. How ZeroPoint’s compression technology differs from the competition. One can never have enough memory, and one way to get more ...
