Abstract--In this paper, we propose a new architectural technique to reduce energy dissipation of frame memory through adaptive bitwith compression. Unlike related approaches, the ...
The phase-change random access memory (PRAM) technology is fast maturing to production levels. Main advantages of PRAM are non-volatility, byte addressability, in-place programmab...
Memory system bottlenecks limit performance for many applications, and computations with strided access patterns are among the hardest hit. The streams used in such applications h...
Disk performance is increasingly limited by its head positioning latencies, i.e., seek time and rotational delay. To reduce the head positioning latencies, we propose a novel tech...
This paper presents a new and simple prefetching mechanism to improve the memory performance of multimedia applications. This method adapts the memory access mechanism to the acce...
