By storing more than one bit in each memory cell, multi-level per cell (MLC) NAND flash memories are dominating global flash memory market due to their appealing storage density ad...
We discover significant value-dependent programming energy variations in multi-level cell (MLC) flash memories, and introduce an energy-aware data compression method that minimize...
On-chip L1 and L2 caches represent a sizeable fraction of the total power consumption of microprocessors. In deep sub-micron technology, the subthreshold leakage power is becoming...
In this paper, we investigate the impact of Tox and Vth on power performance trade-offs for on-chip caches. We start by examining the optimization of the various components of a s...
