Is your memory hierarchy stopping your microprocessor from performing at the high level it
should be? Memory Systems: Cache, DRAM, Disk shows you how to resolve this problem …

Hybrid main memories composed of DRAM as a cache to scalable non-volatile memories
such as phase-change memory (PCM) can provide much larger storage capacity than …

Modern computing systems access data in main memory at coarse granularity (eg, at 512-bit
cache block granularity). Coarse-grained access leads to wasted energy because the …

In this paper, we present Bi-Modal Cache-a flexible stacked DRAM cache organization
which simultaneously achieves several objectives:(i) improved cache hit ratio,(ii) moving the …

There are two major sources of inefficiency in computing systems that use modern DRAM
devices as main memory. First, due to coarse-grained data transfers (size of a cache block …

In recent years, the increasing number of processor cores and limited increases in main
memory bandwidth have led to the problem of the bandwidth wall, where memory bandwidth …

Modern GPUs employ cache to improve memory system efficiency. However, large amount
of cache space is underutilized due to irregular memory accesses and poor spatial locality …

Security vulnerabilities arising from data persistence in emerging non-volatile memories
(NVMs) necessitate memory encryption to ensure data security. Whereas counter mode …

Caches are very inefficiently utilized because not all the excess data fetched into the cache,
to exploit spatial locality, is utilized. We define cache utilization as the percentage of data …
