Clearing your TV's cache greatly reduces stuttering and improves performance. Here's how to do it on Samsung, LG, and more.

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 ...

In part 1, we explained the rationale for using caches and showed how caches work. This week we explain how to minimize cache misses, giving some practical examples. As noted in part 1, cache misses ...

Regular computer usage results in stored cache files that can become corrupted and outdated, leading to operational quirks and slower boot times. Clearing this cache and other temporary files can ...

Cache isn’t something PC gamers think nearly enough about. At least, that seems to be AMD’s thinking as of late. With the release of 3D V-Cache on the Ryzen 7 5800X3D, though, AMD just proved its own ...

Caches are increasingly common in DSPs, but many DSP programmers are unfamiliar with their operation. This article explains how caches work, using the two-level cache in TI's C64x as an example. It ...

A new proposal could boost cache efficiency and performance significantly, at the very time we need it most. Will CPU designers bite? Share on Facebook (opens in a new window) Share on X (opens in a ...

Necessity is the mother of invention, and advances in chip packaging are catching up to those in transistor design when it comes to working in three dimensions instead of the much more limited two.
