In this work we modify the conventional row buffer allocation mechanism used in DDR2 SDRAM banks to improve average memory latency and overall processor performance. Our method as...
—While computing speed continues increasing rapidly, data-access technology is lagging behind. Data-access delay, not the processor speed, becomes the leading performance bottlen...
—The use of passive optical networks (PONs) enables access rates of multi-Gbit/sec bandwidth and provision of quality of service for high definition multimedia services. In this...
