System-on-a-Chip (SoC) designers have a problem, a big problem in fact, Random Access Memory (RAM) is slow, too slow, it just can’t keep up. So they came up with a workaround and it is called cache ...

In the early days of computing, everything ran quite a bit slower than what we see today. This was not only because the computers' central processing units – CPUs – were slow, but also because ...

When shopping for a new CPU, you're likely to come across many different CPU specifications, such as cores, clock speed, TDP, and manufacturing process. Another important aspect of CPU hardware is ...

There are three levels of Processor Cache viz; L1, L2, and L3. The more L2 and L3 cache your system has, the faster the data will be fetched, the faster the program will be executed, and the more ...

Computer memory capacity has expanded greatly, allowing machines to access data and perform tasks very quickly, but accessing the computer's central processing unit, or CPU, for each task slows the ...

Researchers at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab have designed a system where programs can have access to ad hoc optimally allocated cache memory. In a simulation test system with ...

How much energy is consumed each time we upload an image to social media, which relies on data centers and cloud storage?

Flash memory manufacturer, SanDisk, announced that it had acquired FlashSoft, a provider of enterprise caching software. The company also announced that it has entered into a worldwide, exclusive ...
