Open Core Protocol (OCP) [1][2] is a common standard for Intellectual Property (IP)core interfaces. OCP facilitates IP core plug-and-play and simplifies reuse by decoupling the cores from the on-chip ...

There are a number of system design factors requiring consideration when implementing an FPGA processor. Some of those factors include the use of co-design, processor architectural implementation, ...

One of the key challenges in chip multi-processing is to provide a programming model that manages cache coherency in a transparent and efficient way. A large number of applications designed for ...

As the number and variety of computing elements in SoCs grow, specific application areas require the tight connection of key processing elements through coherency. Ncore Interconnect IP from Arteris ...

Bugs in RTL code are problematic, but a bug in an architectural specification can be catastrophic. If the bug remains undetected until post-silicon debugging, the design process essentially starts all ...

Design and understanding of the computer system as a whole unit. Performance Evaluation and its role in computer system design; Instruction Set Architecture design, Datapath design and optimizations ...

Problems with your Xbox 360 console can often be resolved by removing temporary files and data from the system cache. The cache stores such items as game updates, system update installation packages, ...

AMD is leveraging one of its latest families of EPYC server CPUs, code-named Genoa X, in-house to run the electronic design automation (EDA) tools it uses for product development. Based on TSMC's 5-nm ...
