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.

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.

Cache coherency, a common technique for improving performance in chips, is becoming less useful as general-purpose processors are supplemented with, and sometimes supplanted by, highly specialized ...

Intel processors are vulnerable to a new attack that can leak data from the CPU's internal memory -- also known as the cache. The attack, described as "Snoop-assisted L1 Data Sampling," or just Snoop ...

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 ...

A processor cache is an area of high-speed memory that stores information near the processor. This helps make the processing of common instructions efficient and therefore speeds up computation time.
