Part 2 looks at the tradeoffs between program and data cache optimizations, and shows how to choose the best compromise. As we saw in the first two parts of this series, cache optimization is often ...

The dynamic interplay between processor speed and memory access times has rendered cache performance a critical determinant of computing efficiency. As modern systems increasingly rely on hierarchical ...

Today, businesses want a high-performance system to be fast and efficient. E-commerce, financial services, streaming ...

At AWS, where system efficiency directly impacts millions of customers and operational costs, Vignesh Natarajan's groundbreaking optimization of the dangling pointer evaluation algorithm stands as a ...

If multiple devices, such as the CPU and peripherals, access the same cacheable memory region, cache and memory can become incoherent. This is illustrated in Figure 7. Suppose the CPU accesses a ...

Commentary - Given two competitive sites that are identical in practically every other way, the faster site will be more successful. Site speed is associated, in the mind of the end user, with a ...

Java compilers take center stage in this second article in the JVM performance optimization series. Eva Andreasson introduces the different breeds of compiler and compares performance results from ...

Can Google web cache work for your competitive advantage? Certainly “yes”, if you know how to handle it. In the digital world, it functions as human memory, only open to everyone. And if you learn how ...
