The US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, addressing the issue of whether certain factual and legal conclusions relating to obviousness were supported by substantial evidence, held that the ...

Until recently, coherency was something normally associated with DRAM. But as chip designs become increasingly heterogeneous, incorporating more and different types of compute elements, it becomes ...

A new technical paper titled “WARDen: Specializing Cache Coherence for High-Level Parallel Languages” was published by researchers at Northwestern University and Carnegie Mellon University.

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 ...

• Designed MSI, MESI and MOESI Coherence Protocols for a multiprocessor system. • Analyzed the Cache Performance for different cache configurations and different number of processors. • Modified the ...

On March 13, in Intel Corp. v. PACT XPP Schweiz AG, the Federal Circuit concluded that the “known techniques” rationale may support a motivation to combine two references so long as the combination is ...

As the number and variety of computing elements in SoCs grow, specific application areas require a tight connection of processing elements through coherency. Interconnect IP makes cache coherent SoC ...

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 ...

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 ...
