Current compilers lack precise timing models guiding their built-in optimizations. Hence, compilers apply ad-hoc heuristics during optimization to improve code quality. One of the...

In this paper, we compare embedded-DRAM (eDRAM) testing to both SRAM testing and commodity-DRAM testing, since an eDRAM macro uses DRAM cells with an SRAM interface. We first star...

In this paper, we propose PDRAM, a novel energy efficient main memory architecture based on phase change random access memory (PRAM) and DRAM. The paper explores the challenges in...
