This paper describes a comprehensive approach for using the memory controller to improve DRAM energy efficiency and manage DRAM power. We make three contributions: (1) we describe...
Recent advances in statistical inference and machine learning close the divide between simulation and classical optimization, thereby enabling more rigorous and robust microarchit...
