Literature Review On Cache Coherence Protocols Shared memory multiprocessors provide the advantage of sharing code and data structures among the processors comprising the parallel application. As a result of sharing, multiple copies of the shared block exist in one or more caches at the same time. The copies of the shared block existing in different aches must be consistent.t. This is called as the cache coherence problem. Various protocols have been designed to ensure coherence in hardware and policies
ef-ficiency and economy of processor area, the sharing of processorresources between threads extends beyond the execution units; ofparticular concern is that the threads share access to the memorycaches.We demonstrate that this shared access to memory caches pro-vides not only an easily used high bandwidth covert channel be-tween threads, but also permits a malicious thread (operating, intheory, with limited privileges) to monitor the execution of anotherthread, allowing in many cases for theft of cryptographic
Web analytics is collection of web data to understand and optimize web usage by Analyzing and reporting the web data. It helps us study how much impact the website has on its users and thus helps optimize the website based on the results of web analysis. Web analytics helps us know critical information about our website like how many visitors who visited our website, Bounce rate (the number of visitors visited the website and exited rather than going to another page), unique visitors, time
fast memory block known as Instruction cache. The reason for using small and fast memory is to reduce latency. Instruction cache also stores recently executed instructions making the instruction fetch more efficient. All the instructions to be fetched are stored in this memory and are fetched by the program counter. Program counter is used to search the instructions. If the desired instruction is found, then it is termed as cache hit or else it is a cache miss. We all are familiar that superscalar

against competition and identify new opportunities. In computing, a cache is a component that stores data so future requests for that data can be served faster; the data stored in a cache might be the results of an earlier computation, or the duplicates of data stored elsewhere. A cache hit occurs when the requested data can be found in a cache, while a cache miss occurs when it cannot. Cache hits are served by reading data from the cache, which is faster than recomputing a result or reading from a slower
allows continued execution for instructions that use both the memory access pathway and the arithmetic pathway in the event that the data cache misses, this means that the requested data was not in the cache and had to be accessed in the data memory. The pipeline can also take alternate paths for different memory operations. Using a direct mapped 128 entry cache, which stores previous branch instructions, the pipeline can make targeted address, or dynamic branch predictions. This means it fills the
AMD vs. Pentium A couple of years ago when Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) introduced it’s K5 microprocessor, the phrase “too little, too late'; was plastered across their name countless times. At that time, if anyone were to name an underdog to the Intel dominated microprocessor market, Cyrix with their dirt-cheap 5x86 processor would have been the favorite. Intel had been the only processor that could handle day-to-day functions at reasonable speeds. Such simple tasks as word processing
Recently Intel introduced their newest line of the Pentium 4 processors with the new Prescott core. In this paper I will discuss how the Pentium 4 processor works and the changes that have been made since its release, but mainly on the modifications in the newest Pentium 4's with the Prescott core. I will also briefly compare the performance levels of some of the different types of Pentium 4's. The Pentium 4 line of processors encompasses a large range of clock speeds, from 1.7GHz up to 3.6GHz
A Tour of the Pentium Pro Processor Microarchitecture Introduction One of the Pentium Pro processor's primary goals was to significantly exceed the performance of the 100MHz Pentium processor while being manufactured on the same semiconductor process. Using the same process as a volume production processor practically assured that the Pentium Pro processor would be manufacturable, but it meant that Intel had to focus on an improved microarchitecture for ALL of the performance gains. This guided
the storage devices that are not directly accessible, by the Central Processing Unit. Computers use several memory types organized in a storage hierarchy, in the Central Processing Unit. The memory hierarchy consists of CPU registers, SRAM caches, external caches, DRAM, paging systems and virtual memory on the hard drive of the computer. Initially, storage devices were referred to as memory, but nowadays memory refers to a Random Access Memory (RAM) that is a semiconductor storage device. The first

Building a gaming computer may be an intimidating endeavour, but in all actuality with a little hard work anyone can be a whiz at putting together a gaming computer. Why build a custom gaming PC? Well it’ll save money, and give the builder a great experience. It’s always fun to learn how different things work. The price of a top of the line retail gaming computer runs from two thousand on up to five thousand dollars and beyond, a monitor alone could cost one thousand dollars. The two types of gaming
instruction set of approximately 80; it has 32 KB of on-chip cache, verses the non-MMX on-chip cache of 16 KB, which enhances performance of even non-MMX applications, and it makes use of Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD) for more efficient data processing. The 57 new and powerful instructions are specifically designed to process and manipulate audio, video, and graphical data much more effectively. Intel, having doubled its on-chip cache size from 16 KB on non-MMX processor chips to 32 KB on MMX
but it only had a 16-bit path between the CPU and the computer memory. The DX on the other hand had a 32-bit data bus between the CPU and the memory chips allowing larger data transfers so it had faster through put. It also was able to use external cache memory, usually about 64k, which also improved performance. The 386 came in two different types they both had a internal bus width of 32 bit, the SX had a address bus width of 24 bit, and a external bus width of 16 bit, its internal and external speed

Buying a computer today is much more complicated then it was ten years ago. The choices we have are abundant, and the information we must gather to make those choices is much greater. The average consumer is a more educated buyer; they at least have some ideas of what they want in a computer. Yet, we must still ask ourselves these significant questions; such as: What will the primary function of my computer be? What computer components should I consider at the time of purchase? How much money do
