  2. Cache placement policies - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cache_placement_policies

    Set-associative cache is a trade-off between direct-mapped cache and fully associative cache. A set-associative cache can be imagined as a n × m matrix. The cache is divided into ‘n’ sets and each set contains ‘m’ cache lines. A memory block is first mapped onto a set and then placed into any cache line of the set.

  3. CMake - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CMake

    CMake generates configuration files for other build tools based on CMake-specific configuration files. The other tools are responsible for more directly building; using the generated files. A single set of CMake-specific configuration files can be used to build a codebase using the native build tools of multiple platforms. [4]

  4. Interprocedural optimization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interprocedural_optimization

    Whole program optimization (WPO) is the compiler optimization of a program using information about all the modules in the program. Normally, optimizations are performed on a per module, "compiland", basis; but this approach, while easier to write and test and less demanding of resources during the compilation itself, does not allow certainty about the safety of a number of optimizations such ...

  5. Information-centric networking caching policies - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information-centric...

    The Time aware Least Recently Used (TLRU) [1] is a variant of LRU designed for the situation where the stored contents in cache have a valid life time. The algorithm is suitable in network cache applications, such as information-centric networking (ICN), content delivery networks (CDNs) and distributed networks in general. TLRU introduces a new ...

  6. Cache hierarchy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cache_hierarchy

    Highly requested data is cached in high-speed access memory stores, allowing swifter access by central processing unit (CPU) cores. Cache hierarchy is a form and part of memory hierarchy and can be considered a form of tiered storage. [1] This design was intended to allow CPU cores to process faster despite the memory latency of main memory access.

  7. Translation lookaside buffer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Translation_lookaside_buffer

    A translation lookaside buffer (TLB) is a memory cache that stores the recent translations of virtual memory to physical memory. It is used to reduce the time taken to access a user memory location. [1] It can be called an address-translation cache. It is a part of the chip's memory-management unit (MMU).

  8. Test and test-and-set - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test_and_Test-and-set

    In computer architecture, the test-and-set CPU instruction (or instruction sequence) is designed to implement mutual exclusion in multiprocessor environments. Although a correct lock can be implemented with test-and-set, the test and test-and-set optimization lowers resource contention caused by bus locking, especially cache coherency protocol overhead on contended locks.

  9. CPU cache - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CPU_cache

    A CPU cache is a hardware cache used by the central processing unit (CPU) of a computer to reduce the average cost (time or energy) to access data from the main memory. [1] A cache is a smaller, faster memory, located closer to a processor core, which stores copies of the data from frequently used main memory locations.
