Cache, in its crude definition, is a faster memory which stores copies of data from frequently used main memory locations. Nowadays, multiprocessor systems are supporting shared memories in hardware, ...

Part 1: A look at the impact of communication across multiple processors on an SoC and how to to make that more efficient. Managing how the processors in an SoC talk to one another is no small feat, ...

In the intricate world of modern chip architectures, the “memory wall” – the limitations posed by external DRAM accesses on performance and power consumption growing slower than the ability to compute ...

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 ...
