In today’s digital economy, high-scale applications must perform flawlessly, even during peak demand periods. With modern caching strategies, organizations can deliver high-speed experiences at scale.

Gain insight into the CXL specification. Learn how CXL supports dynamic multiplexing between a rich set of protocols that includes I/O (CLX.io, based on PCIe), caching (CXL.cache), and memory (CXL.mem ...

This Application Note explores the implications associated with performing Direct Memory Access (DMA) operations on an ARM multi-core system such as the ARM11 MPCore and Cortex-A9 MPCore. The target ...

With silicon clock scaling largely dead thanks to the laws of physics, computer scientists and chip designers have had to search for performance improvements in other areas -- typically by improving ...

If multiple devices, such as the CPU and peripherals, access the same cacheable memory region, cache and memory can become incoherent. This is illustrated in Figure 7. Suppose the CPU accesses a ...
