As the number of cores on a chip increases and key applications become even more data-
intensive, memory systems in modern processors have to deal with increasingly large …

Cache compression is a promising technique to increase on-chip cache capacity and to
decrease on-chip and off-chip bandwidth usage. Unfortunately, directly applying well-known …

Recently, non-volatile memory (NVM) technology has revolutionized the landscape of
memory systems. With many advantages, such as non volatility and near zero standby …

Technical debt is a metaphor introduced by Cunningham to indicate" not quite right code
which we postpone making it right". Examples of technical debt are code smells and bug …

Modern processors use two or more levels ofcache memories to bridge the rising disparity
betweenprocessor and memory speeds. Compression canimprove cache performance by …

As transistor density continues to grow at an exponential rate in accordance to Moore's law,
the goal for many Chip Multi-Processor (CMP) systems is to scale the number of on-chip …

Data compression is a promising approach for meeting the increasing memory capacity
demands expected in future systems. Unfortunately, existing compression algorithms do not …

Microprocessor designers have been torn between tight constraints on the amount of on-
chip cache memory and the high latency of off-chip memory, such as dynamic random …

Lossless data compression techniques can potentially free up more than 50% of the memory
resources. However, previously proposed schemes suffer from high access costs. The …

Recently, Network-on-Chip (NoC) architectures have gained popularity to address the
interconnect delay problem for designing CMP/multi-core/SoC systems in deep sub-micron …
