Memories today expose an all-or-nothing correctness model that incurs significant costs in
performance, energy, area, and design complexity. But not all applications need high …

Emerging non-volatile memory (NVM) technologies have gained a lot of attention recently.
The byte-addressability and high density of NVM enable computer architects to build large …

Existing memory approximation techniques focus on employing approximations at an
individual level of the memory hierarchy (eg, cache, scratchpad, or main memory). However …

Multilevel-cell (MLC) phase change memory (PCM) may provide both high capacity main
memory and faster-than-Flash persistent storage. But slow growth in cell resistance with …

Hardware evolution has been one of the driving factors for the redesign of database
systems. Recently, approximate storage emerges in the area of computer architecture. It …

Multi-level cell phase change memory (MLC-PCM), because of its very low leakage power
and high density, is promising for embedded systems. Furthermore, for applications with …

There exist extensive ongoing research efforts on emerging atomic scale technologies that
have the potential to become an alternative to today's CMOS technologies. A common …

As DRAM is facing the scaling difficulty in terms of energy cost and reliability, some
nonvolatile storage materials were proposed to be the substitute or supplement of main …

The sustained drive to downsize the transistors has reached a point where device sensitivity
against transient faults due to neutron and alpha particle strikes aka soft errors has moved to …

The concern of power consumption in today's computer system is increasing, especially
when it comes to server solutions and mobile devices. One way of approaching the energy …
