It’s easy to look strictly at the type of CPU and GPU you have when evaluating the kind of performance you’re likely to get ...

Clearing cached and temporary data frees up system resources and enhances performance - an essential maintenance feature ...

Another important aspect of CPU hardware is cache memory, which is responsible for speeding up CPU performance by storing frequently accessed data on the CPU itself. CPU cache memory was developed ...

A disk or memory cache that supports writing. Data normally written to memory or to disk by the CPU is first written into the cache. During idle machine cycles, the data are written from the cache ...

The block of memory that is transferred to a memory cache. The cache line is generally fixed in size, typically ranging from 16 to 256 bytes. The effectiveness of the line size depends on the ...

Above 256 KBytes the data is not found in either cache and has to be transferred to/from system memory. At this point the system yields the lowest performance. Note that the knee of the curve around ...

During the execution of the algorithms, the operating system copies the information related to the seed locations from the main memory to the much faster levels of cache memory, and the extension ...

Fast forward to today’s technology where level 2 (L2) cache is no longer a custom design. A memory compiler is used to generate the exact required array size with a great deal of flexibility for tag, ...
