SOLUTION: This storage system 101 has the nonvolatile memory that is a memory of a type capable of keeping on storing data regardless of presence/absence of power supply in addition to the volatile cache memory. A temporary storage destination of data following an access command from an upper ...

SRAM 只要一直通电,数据就会一直存在里面,所以名字中带有“静态”二字;但如果电没有了,数据就会消失,所以 SRAM 属于易失性存储器(Volatile Memory)中的一种。 由于每个单元里塞了六个晶体管,所以SRAM的造价并不便宜,而且面积功耗都很大。因此SRAM并不是制造Main Memory(内存)的最佳选择。制造容量更大的内存,需要...
热点被分散了,预取缓解了Memory_Bound的情况。 避免false sharing 前面我们提到过,数据如果在一个cacheline,被多核访问的时候,多核间运行的cache一致性协议,会导致cacheline在多核间的同步。这个同步会有很大的延迟,是工程里著名的false sharing问题。 比如下面一个结构体 struct s { int a; int b; } 如果1个...
cache miss会导致CPU的stall状态,从而影响性能。现代CPU的微架构分了frontend和backend。frontend负责fetch指令给backend执行,backend执行依赖运算能力和Memory子系统(包括cache)延迟。 backend执行中访问数据导致的cache miss会导致backend stall,从而降低IPC(instructions per cycle)。减小cache的miss,实际上是一个软硬件协同...
The term “primary memory” may also refer to “primary storage” or “main memory.” Primary memory is the volatile storing mechanism of a computer system. It may refer to random access memory (RAM), cache memory, or data buses, although it is most often connected with a computer’s ...

The SDK provides an option to change this behavior so that tile responses are not saved to the disk cache, but still get cached in memory. This property is defined by setting the source to volatile - either through SDK methods or by adding "volatile": true to the tile JSON. This makes...
