Chinese chip maker Loongson used to make processors based on MIPS architecture, but MIPS isn’t what it used to be and the company that developed the technology has even pivoted to making chips using ...
In computer science, an instruction set architecture (ISA) is an abstract model of a computer. It’s also referred to as architecture or computer architecture. Moreover, a central processing unit (CPU) ...
Cache prefetching is what allows processors to have data and/or instructions ready for use in a fast local cache rather than having to wait for a fetch request to trickle through to system RAM and ...
China-based CPU designer Loongson Zongke Technology has pledged to build a homegrown CPU instruction ecosystem independent of Wintel and Android-ARM, and all its products will switch to the ...
Synopsys' ASIP design tools enable rapid exploration and optimization of processor architectures KYOCERA created a custom high-performance DSP in less than a year, saving an estimated nine months on ...
When faced with an FPGA, some people might use it to visualize the Mandelbrot set. Others might use it to make CPUs. But what happens if you combine the two? [Michael Kohn] shows us what happens with ...
