The larger is the buffer, the more significant == == are relative contributions of TLB, L1/L2 cache misses and SDRAM == == accesses. For extremely large buffer sizes we are expecting to see == == page table walk with several requests to SDRAM for almost every == == memory access (though 64MiB is not nearly large enough to experience == == this effect to its fullest). == == == == Note 1: All the numbers are representing extra time, which needs to == == be added to L1 cache latency. The cycle timings for L1 cache == == latency can be usually found in the processor documentation. == == Note 2: Dual random read means that we are simultaneously performing == == two independent memory accesses at a time. In the case if == == the memory subsystem can't handle multiple outstanding == == requests, dual random read has the same timings as two == == single reads performed one after another. == ========================================================================== block size : single random read / dual random read 1024 : 0.0 ns / 0.0 ns 2048 : 0.0 ns / 0.0 ns 4096 : 0.0 ns / 0.0 ns 8192 : 0.0 ns / 0.0 ns 16384 : 0.0 ns / 0.0 ns 32768 : 0.0 ns / 0.0 ns 65536 : 4.5 ns / 9.0 ns 131072 : 9.2 ns / 18.6 ns 262144 : 33.2 ns / 60.3 ns 524288 : 144.7 ns / 288.5 ns 1048576 : 202.3 ns / 404.4 ns 2097152 : 232.4 ns / 464.2 ns 4194304 : 248.9 ns / 496.8 ns 8388608 : 260.0 ns / 518.4 ns 16777216 : 269.8 ns / 538.3 ns 33554432 : 289.7 ns / 578.2 ns 67108864 : 322.2 ns / 643.4 ns
