Evaluation methodology/metrics and caveats, instruction set design, advanced pipelining, instruction level parallelism, prediction-based techniques, alternative architectures (VLIW, Vector and SIMD), ...

These are exciting times for the memory hierarchy in systems. New kinds of DRAM and non-volatile memories are becoming available to system architects to enhance the performance and responsiveness of ...

Understand how a memory hierarchy works and tradeoffs that affect performance, especially how a cache works, the principle of locality, what affects the performance, and how to design a cache system.

Virtual memory is a valuable concept in computer architecture that allows you to run large, sophisticated programs on a computer even if it has a relatively small amount of RAM. A computer with ...

Memory Hierarchy Shakeup Gaps in the memory hierarchy have created openings for new types of memory, and there is no shortage of possibilities.

In addition, there are exciting new developments in memory technology and architecture coming down the development pipeline. These advancements are leading into an era of heterogeneous compute and ...

A new technical paper titled “Reconfigurable Compute-In-Memory on Field-Programmable Ferroelectric Diodes” was recently published by researchers at University of Pennsylvania, Sandia National Labs, ...
