Energy-efficient Non Uniform Last Level Caches for Chip-multiprocessors Based on Compression
By Technical Paper Link - 10 Jan, 2022 - Comments: 0

Abstract "With technology scaling, the size of cache systems in chip-multiprocessors (CMPs) has been dramatically increased to efficiently store and manipulate a large amount of data in future applications and decrease the gap between cores and off-chip memory accesses. For future CMPs architecting, 3D stacking of LLCs has been recently introduced as a new methodology to combat to performance ... » read more

CodaCache: Helping to Break the Memory Wall
By Arteris - 04 Aug, 2020 - Comments: 0

As artificial intelligence (AI) and autonomous vehicle systems have grown in complexity, system performance needs have begun to conflict with latency and power consumption requirements. This dilemma is forcing semiconductor engineers to re-architect their system-on-chip (SoC) designs to provide more scalable levels of performance, flexibility, efficiency, and integration. From the edge to data ... » read more

A Primer On Last-Level Cache Memory For SoC Designs
By Kurt Shuler - 06 Sep, 2018 - Comments: 0

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 assistance systems (ADAS), machine learning, and data-center applications. LLC is a standalone memory that inserts cache between functional blocks and external memory to ease conflicting requireme... » read more

The Week In Review: Design
By Jesse Allen - 08 Jun, 2018 - Comments: 0

Tools & IP Synopsys added machine learning capabilities to its Design Platform. The company highlighted benefits to the PrimeTime signoff tool, which saw 5X faster power recovery in customer designs at leading-edge geometries. Renesas is using the tool, noting a 4X power ECO speed-up. ArterisIP unveiled a standalone last level cache (LLC) for high-performance SoCs. CodaCache can be adde... » read more

Got System Cache?
By Rajesh Ramanujam - 25 Aug, 2016 - Comments: 0

Similar to the world we live in, a coherent SoC system has truly become a hodgepodge of often conflicting desires, wants, and needs. While some traffic flows are highly sensitive to CAS latency, others have rigid coherent bandwidth requirements, and others are more concerned with “must have” real-time needs to fulfill their tasks. Varying vastly from "must haves" to "best-effort," finding t... » read more

Executive Insight: Sehat Sutardja
By Ed Sperling - 11 Jan, 2016 - Comments: 1

Sehat Sutardja, chairman and CEO of Marvell, sat down with Semiconductor Engineering to talk about new approaches for design and memory and why costs and time to market are forcing changes in Moore's Law. What follows are excerpts of that conversation. SE: What was behind your move into modular packaging? Sutardja: The cost of building chips is getting out of hand. As we make things more ... » read more
