Compressed Last-Level Cache (LLC) architectures have been proposed to enhance system
performance by efficiently increasing the effective capacity of the cache, without physically …

Limited write endurance is the main obstacle standing in the way of using phase change
memory (PCM) in future computing systems. While several wear-leveling and hard-error …

Spin-transfer torque magnetic random access memory (STT-RAM) technology has emerged
as a potential replacement of SRAM in cache design, especially for building large-scale and …

Power consumption is becoming increasingly important for both embedded and high-
performance systems. Off-chip data buses can be a major power consumer. In this paper we …

Video broadcast and streaming are among the most widely used applications for edge
devices. Roughly 82% of the mobile internet traffic is made up of video data. This is likely to …

Memory bandwidth compression can be an effective way to achieve higher system
performance and energy efficiency in modern data-intensive applications by exploiting …

Recent proposals present compression as a cost-effective technique to increase cache and
memory capacity and bandwidth. While these proposals show potentials of compression …

NAND flash memory is the major storage media for both mobile storage cards and
enterprise Solid-State Drives (SSDs). Log-block-based Flash Translation Layer (FTL) …

The proliferation of chip multiprocessors (CMPs) has led to the integration of large on-chip
caches. For scalability reasons, a large on-chip cache is often divided into smaller banks …

As the size of on-chip SRAM caches is increasing rapidly and the physical dimension of the
SRAM devices is decreasing, reliability of caches is becoming a growing concern. This is …
