A processor cache is an area of high-speed memory that stores information near the processor. This helps make the processing of common instructions efficient and therefore speeds up computation time.

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 new technical paper titled “EXAM: Exploiting Exclusive System-Level Cache in Apple M-Series SoCs for Enhanced Cache Occupancy Attacks” was published by researchers at Northeastern University. “Cache ...

Modern multicore systems demand sophisticated strategies to manage shared cache resources. As multiple cores execute diverse workloads concurrently, cache interference can lead to significant ...

System-on-chip (SoC) architects have a new memory technology, last level cache (LLC), to help overcome the design obstacles of bandwidth, latency and power consumption in megachips for advanced driver ...

This section describes three topics discussed in other chapters that are fundamental to memory hierarchies. Protection and Instruction Set Architecture Protection is a joint effort of architecture and ...
