With advances in process technology, soft errors (SE) are becoming an increasingly critical design concern. Due to their large area and high density, caches are worst hit by soft ...
Magnetic Random Access Memory (MRAM) is considered to be a promising future memory technology due to its low leakage power, high density and fast read speed. The heterogeneous int...
