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 ...

A technical paper titled “Hardware Trojan Threats to Cache Coherence in Modern 2.5D Chiplet Systems” was published by researchers at Texas A&M University and NYU. “As industry moves toward ...

Open Core Protocol (OCP) 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 ...

The past decade or so has seen some really phenomenal capacity growth and similarly remarkable software technology in support of distributed-memory systems. When work can be spread out across a lot of ...

Moreover, cache coherence is an especially important protocol to verify. A cache-coherence bug could result in a silent data corruption that would disrupt system functionality. A formal tool for ...

With silicon clock scaling largely dead thanks to the laws of physics, computer scientists and chip designers have had to search for performance improvements in other areas -- typically by improving ...
