Managing a cache so that data are not lost or overwritten. For example, when data are updated in a cache but not yet transferred to the target memory or disk, the chance of corruption is greater.

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 ...

The evolution from chip to system-on-chip (SoC) has brought value to both the engineering community and end users. With the move to greater complexity, problems that were once isolated to individual ...

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 ...
