Recently, both industry and academia have proposed many different roadmaps for the future
of DRAM. Consequently, there is a growing need for an extensible DRAM simulator, which …

DRAM technology has developed rapidly in recent years. Several industrial solutions offer
3D packaging of DRAM and some are envisioning the integration of CPU and DRAM on the …

Modern memory systems rely on spatial locality to provide high bandwidth while minimizing
memory device power and cost. The trend of increasing the number of cores that share …

Diverse IP cores are integrated on a modern system-on-chip and share resources. Off-chip
memory bandwidth is often the scarcest resource and requires careful allocation. Two of the …

Compute requirements are increasing rapidly in systems ranging from mobile devices to
servers. These, often massively parallel architectures, put increasing requirements on …

We propose adaptive granularity to combine the best of fine-grained and coarse-grained
memory accesses. We augment virtual memory to allow each page to specify its preferred …

Chip multiprocessors enable continued performance scaling with increasingly many cores
per chip. As the throughput of computation outpaces available memory bandwidth, however …

In computer architecture studies, simulators are crucial for design verification, reducing
research and development time and ensuring the high accuracy of verification results …

Abstract The simulation of DRAMs (Dynamic Random Access Memories) on system level
requires highly accurate models due to their complex timing and power behavior. However …

For decades, main memory has enjoyed the continuous scaling of its physical substrate:
DRAM (DynamicRandomAccessMemory). Butnow, DRAMscalinghasreachedathreshold …
