Memory isolation is a key property of a reliable and secure computing system--an access to
one memory address should not have unintended side effects on data stored in other …

Modern DRAM cells are periodically refreshed to prevent data loss due to leakage.
Commodity DDR (double data rate) DRAM refreshes cells at the rank level. This degrades …

The memory system is a fundamental performance and energy bottleneck in almost all
computing systems. Recent system design, application, and technology trends that require …

As DRAM cells continue to shrink, they become more susceptible to retention failures.
DRAM cells that permanently exhibit short retention times are fairly easy to identify and …

Memory devices represent a key component of datacenter total cost of ownership (TCO),
and techniques used to reduce errors that occur on these devices increase this cost. Existing …

Recent technology advancements allow for the integration of large memory structures on-die
or as a die-stacked DRAM. Such structures provide higher bandwidth and faster access time …

In a multicore system, applications running on different cores interfere at main memory. This
inter-application interference degrades overall system performance and unfairly slows down …

With rapid development of micro-processors, off-chip memory access becomes a system
bottleneck. DRAM, a main memory in most computers, has concentrated only on capacity …

Modern DRAM devices for the main memory are structured to have multiple banks to satisfy
ever-increasing throughput, energy-efficiency, and capacity demands. Due to tight cost …

Through-Silicon Interposer (TSI) has recently been proposed to provide high memory
bandwidth and improve energy efficiency of the main memory system. However, the impact …
