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 ...

Regular computer usage results in stored cache files that can become corrupted and outdated, leading to operational quirks and slower boot times.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

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 ...

The Samsung Galaxy S21 is one of the most popular Android phones on the market. Over time, the cache on the S21 can build up and cause issues like slow performance, app crashes, and battery drain.

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 ...
