Machine learning and artificial intelligence systems are driving the need for systems-on-chip containing tens or even hundreds of heterogeneous processing cores. As these systems expand in size and ...

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 ...

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 ...

Cache memory significantly reduces time and power consumption for memory access in systems-on-chip. Technologies like AMBA protocols facilitate cache coherence and efficient data management across CPU ...
