: The exposed memory hierarchies employed in many network processors (NPs) are expensive in terms of meeting the worst-case processing requirement. Moreover, it is difficult to ef...
Portable systems demand energy efficiency in order to maximize battery life. IRAM architectures, which combine DRAM and a processor on the same chip in a DRAM process, are more en...

The RAMpage hierarchy moves main memory up a level to replace the lowest-level cache by an equivalent-sized SRAM main memory. This paper is a first look at the value of RAMpage to ...
Processor and memory technology trends portend a continual increase in the relative cost of accessing main memory. Machine designers have tried to mitigate the effect of this tren...
