The Ultra High-Speed cache memory is an adaptable, independent, non-coherent cache Intellectual Property (IP) featuring an advanced cache architecture. This architecture enhances system performance, scalability, power efficiency, data locality, application responsiveness, cost optimization, and market competitiveness, providing a distinctive business value.
High Performance SoC Challenges
Contemporary System-on-Chip (SoC) design faces challenges in optimizing data sharing between compute engines, accelerators, and other data processing blocks. Efficient data prefetching mechanisms are essential to minimize reliance on main memory accesses. Meeting these requirements is crucial for achieving performance goals at both the block and SoC levels.
Silvaco Cache Solution
Silvaco’s Ultra High-Speed cache memory is versatile in its application across various scenarios within computer systems. Its primary objective is to optimize system performance by mitigating memory access latency. This is accomplished by storing frequently accessed data in proximity to the processing cores, enabling swift retrieval. Functioning as a shared cache, it facilitates smooth communication and synchronization among components or Intellectual Properties (IPs). The memory serves as a transient storage and buffering mechanism for data in transit, facilitating effective data flow management. Caching frequently accessed data diminishes the necessity to access the slower main memory, leading to an overall improvement in system responsiveness. Consequently, this enhances power efficiency by reducing both memory access frequency and the associated power consumption.
