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 ...
When talking about CPU specifications, in addition to clock speed and number of cores/threads, ' CPU cache memory ' is sometimes mentioned. Developer Gabriel G. Cunha explains what this CPU cache ...
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 ...
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 ...
What are the current challenges involved with incorporating sufficient HBM into multi-die design? How a new interconnect technology can address the performance, size, and power issues that could ...
Why a new memory interface is needed. Features and benefits of DDR5. How DDR5 will usher in a new era of composable, scalable data centers. The move to DDR5 will probably be more important than most ...
The lines between the CPU, its main memory, the memory of accelerators, and various external storage class memories have been blurring for years, and the smudging and smearing is no more pronounced ...
High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) is the commonly used type of DRAM for data center GPUs like NVIDIA's H200 and AMD's MI325X. High Bandwidth Flash (HBF) is a stack of flash chips with an HBM interface. What ...
