Abstract:The gap between the speed of logic and the DRAM memory access is widening. Traditional processors hide some of the mismatch in memory latency using techniques such as multi-level caches, instruction prefetching and memory interleaving. The bandwidth available at the system bus also forms a bottleneck; even an elaborate memory hierarchy with a perfect prefetching predictor generate memory traffic that overwhelms the capabilities of modern memory subsystems. A potential solution is the integration of DRAM and lo… Show more
