The cache is implemented in eDRAM, which does not require as many transistors per cell as a standard SRAM so it allows for a larger cache while using the same area as SRAM.

Due to its one-transistor bit cell, 1T-SRAM is smaller than conventional ( six-transistor, or “ 6T ”) SRAM, and closer in size and density to embedded DRAM ( eDRAM ).

At the same time, 1T-SRAM has performance comparable to SRAM at multi-megabit densities, uses less power than eDRAM and is manufactured in a standard CMOS logic process like conventional SRAM.

It is significantly faster speed than eDRAM, and the " quad-density " variant is only slightly larger ( 10 – 15 % is claimed ).

The cost-per-bit is higher than for stand-alone DRAM chips but in many applications the performance advantages of placing the eDRAM on the same chip as the processor outweighs the cost disadvantage compared with external memory.

Embedding memory on the ASIC or processor allows for much wider buses and higher operation speeds, and due to much higher density of DRAM in comparison to SRAM, larger amounts of memory can be installed on smaller chips if eDRAM is used instead of eSRAM.

eDRAM requires additional fab process steps compared with embedded SRAM, which raises cost, but the 3X area savings of eDRAM memory offsets the process cost when a significant amount of memory is used in the design.

However if the memory refresh controller is embedded along with the eDRAM memory, the remainder of the ASIC can treat the memory like a simple SRAM type such as in 1T-SRAM.

The processor cores are linked by a crossbar switch to a 32 MB eDRAM L2 cache, operating at half core speed.

eDRAM stands for " embedded DRAM ", a capacitor-based dynamic random-access memory integrated on the same die as an ASIC or processor.

On most foundry processes, designs with eDRAM require additional ( and costly ) masks and processing steps, offsetting the cost of a larger 1T-SRAM die.

eDRAM memories, like all DRAM memories, require periodic refreshing of the memory cells, which adds complexity.

In the first instance, `` mimesis '' is here used to mean the recalling of experience in terms of vivid images rather than in terms of abstract ideas or conventional designations.

A dominant motive is the poet's longing for his homeland and its boyhood associations: `` Not men-folk, but the fields where I would stray, The stones where as a child I used to play ''.

So in these pages the term `` technology '' is used to include any and all means which could amplify, project, or augment man's control over himself and over other men.

But what a super-Herculean task it is to winnow anything of value from the mud-beplastered arguments used so freely, particularly since such common use is made of cliches and stereotypes, in themselves declarations of intellectual bankruptcy.

This text from Dr. Huxley is sometimes used by enthusiasts to indicate that they have the permission of the scientists to press the case for a wonderful unfoldment of psychic powers in human beings.

The men who speculate on these institutions have, for the most part, come to at least one common conclusion: that many of the great enterprises and associations around which our democracy is formed are in themselves autocratic in nature, and possessed of power which can be used to frustrate the citizen who is trying to assert his individuality in the modern world ''.

Properly used, the present book is an excellent instrument of enlightenment.

This prospect did not please Mrs. King any more than did the possibility that her daughter might marry a Bohemian, but she used it to suggest to Thompson that, `` It is not in her nature to love you ''.

On the other hand, the consensus of opinion is that, used with caution and in conjunction with other types of evidence, the native sources still provide a valid rough outline for the English settlement of southern Britain.

The trouble with this machinery is that it is not used and the reason that it is not used is the absence of a conscious sense of community among the free nations.

In addition to his experiments in reading poetry to jazz, Patchen is beginning to use the figure of the modern jazz musician as a myth hero in the same way he used the figure of the private detective a decade ago.

When different colors are used, she is just as likely to color trees purple, hair green, etc..

Berlin is merely being used by Moscow as a stalking horse.

The collection of information is meaningless unless it is understood and used for a definite purpose.

This is used as a reference for comparing the ohmic heating and the electrical energy obtained from the measured current through the element and the measured voltage across the element.

IBM's Extended Binary Coded Decimal Interchange Code ( usually abbreviated EBCDIC ) is an 8-bit encoding scheme developed in 1963.

Frederick Phillips Brooks, Jr. ( born April 19, 1931 ) is a software engineer and computer scientist, best known for managing the development of IBM's System / 360 family of computers and the OS / 360 software support package, then later writing candidly about the process in his seminal book The Mythical Man-Month.

Although his career in computing spanned more than two decades, he is mainly remembered in connection with IBM's unsuccessful attempt in 1980 to license CP / M for the IBM PC.

It was developed by IBM, but is unrelated to IBM's other mainframe operating systems, e. g., VSE, VM.

Software upgrades usually require setting up the operating system or portions thereof, and are non-disruptive only when using virtualizing facilities such as IBM's Z / OS and Parallel Sysplex, or Unisys ' XPCL, which support workload sharing so that one system can take over another's application while it is being refreshed.

IBM's involvement was much more successful in redefining Windows ' visual appearance after the 1. 0 release, giving it what is today perceived as the " Windows 3. 0 look ".

While there are other industrial-strength transaction processing systems, notably IBM's own CICS and IMS, TPF's raison d ' être is extreme volume, large numbers of concurrent users and very fast response times, for example VISA credit card transaction processing during the peak holiday shopping season.

IBM's 3xxx formats are designed to keep the tape moving irrespective of the data buffer-segments are written when data is available, but gaps are written when buffers run empty.

In IBM's operating systems for System / 370 and successor systems, the term is " fixed ", and pages may be long-term fixed, or may be short-term fixed.

Since z / VSE 3. 1, Fibre Channel access to storage devices is supported, although only on IBM's Enterprise Storage Server ( ESS ) and its successors.

IBM's standard support period for each z / OS release is three years, so, combined with z / OS's uniquely rigorous coexistence and fallback commitments, IBM's customers routinely maintain z / OS release currency ( or near-currency ) with few or zero service interruptions and without paying extended support fees.

The IBM System i is IBM's previous generation of midrange computer systems for IBM i users, and was subsequently replaced by the IBM Power Systems in April 2008.

ADCCP is based on the IBM's SDLC protocol.

ADCCP is an ANSI standard, X3. 66, derived from IBM's Synchronous Data Link Control ( SDLC ) protocol, and is functionally equivalent to the ISO High-Level Data Link Control ( HDLC ) standard.

IBM Informix is a product family within IBM's Information Management division that is centered on several relational database management system ( RDBMS ) offerings.

Informix is often compared to IBM's other major database product, DB2, which is offered on the mainframe Z series platform as well as on Unix and Linux.

As part of IBM's Academic Initiative, IBM is offering Informix software, documentation and training to higher education institutions worldwide through its new Informix on Campus program.

AltiVec is a floating point and integer SIMD instruction set designed and owned by Apple, IBM and Freescale Semiconductor, formerly the Semiconductor Products Sector of Motorola, ( the AIM alliance ), and implemented on versions of the PowerPC including Motorola's G4, IBM's G5 and POWER6 processors, and P. A.

The decreasing cost of display equipment and processors made it practical to provide graphical user interfaces for many operating systems, such as the generic X Window System that is provided with many Unix systems, or other graphical systems such as Microsoft Windows, the RadioShack Color Computer's OS-9 Level II / MultiVue, Commodore's AmigaOS, Apple's Mac OS, or even IBM's OS / 2.
