DRAM power and energy efficiency considerations are becoming increasingly important for low-power and mobile systems. Using lower power modes provided by commodity DRAM chips redu...
In this paper we propose a simple extension to the I/O architecture of scalable multiprocessors that optimizes page swap-outs significantly. More specifically, we propose the use o...
Abstract—Caches often employ write-back instead of writethrough, since write-back avoids unnecessary transfers for multiple writes to the same block. For several reasons, however...
The emerging Spin Torque Transfer memory (STT-RAM) is a promising candidate for future on-chip caches due to STT-RAM's high density, low leakage, long endurance and high acce...
On chip memories provide fast and energy efficient storage for code and data in comparison to caches or external memories. We present techniques and algorithms that allow for an au...
