In the eighties, computer processors became faster and faster, while memory access times stagnated and hindered additional performance increases. Something had to be done to speed up memory access and ...

There are two types of memory modes offered by the eZ80 CPU. This application describes the types of memory modes, and provides a simple application to demonstrate how to properly configure the eZ80 ...

The performance of a business computer at everyday tasks largely depends on two factors: its processor speed and the amount of memory it has. The processor's speed comes from its clock, a timing ...

I have a certain basic understanding of how CPUs are made up with functional blocks, stages in a pipeline, why instructions are decoded and dispatched, and a naive understanding of cache hierarchy.
