memory is its asymmetric write latency. Generally, for a PCM, the latency of a SET operation
(ie, an operation that writes “1”) is 2-5 times longer than the latency of a RESET operation
(ie, an operation that writes “0”). For this reason, the average write latency of a PCM system
is limited by the high-latency SET operations. This paper presents a novel PCM architecture
called DyPhase, which uses partial-SET operations instead of the conventional SET …
