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 ...

Moreover, cache coherence is an especially important protocol to verify. A cache-coherence bug could result in a silent data corruption that would disrupt system functionality. A formal tool for ...

The past decade or so has seen some really phenomenal capacity growth and similarly remarkable software technology in support of distributed-memory systems. When work can be spread out across a lot of ...

One of the key challenges in chip multi-processing is to provide a programming model that manages cache coherency in a transparent and efficient way. A large number of applications designed for ...

In the first part of this series on the proposed Cache Coherence Interconnect for Accelerators (CCIX) standard, we talked about the issues of cache coherence and the need to share memory across ...

A new technical paper titled “Learning Cache Coherence Traffic for NoC Routing Design” was published by researchers at Nanyang Technological University. “In this work, we propose a cache ...

Machine learning and artificial intelligence systems are driving the need for systems-on-chip containing tens or even hundreds of heterogeneous processing cores. As these systems expand in size and ...

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 ...

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, ...
