Lag on a Roku TV rarely arrives out of nowhere. It usually builds up as temporary files pile on, apps misbehave, and the ...

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 ...

Researchers from the University of Edinburgh and NVIDIA have introduced a new method that helps large language models reason ...

The authors report on the design of efficient cache controller suitable for use in FPGA-based processors. Semiconductor memory which can operate at speeds comparable with the operation of the ...

If you're having PC memory issues, you might assume clearing your RAM's cache might sound like it'll make your PC run faster. But be careful, because it can actually slow it down and is unlikely to ...

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 ...

Modern LLMs, like OpenAI’s o1 or DeepSeek’s R1, improve their reasoning by generating longer chains of thought. However, this ...

In the intricate world of modern chip architectures, the “memory wall” – the limitations posed by external DRAM accesses on performance and power consumption growing slower than the ability to compute ...

How lossless data compression can reduce memory and power requirements. How ZeroPoint’s compression technology differs from the competition. One can never have enough memory, and one way to get more ...

Memory swizzling is the quiet tax that every hierarchical-memory accelerator pays. It is fundamental to how GPUs, TPUs, NPUs, ...

Overview: Performance issues on gaming consoles can be frustrating, especially when they interrupt immersive gameplay. Even advanced consoles like the Xbox ...
