As semiconductor technology advances, the performance gap between processor and memory has become one of the major issues in computer design. In order to bridge this gap, many met...
1 Routers need buffers to store and forward packets, especially when there is network congestion. With current memory technology, neither the SRAM nor the DRAM alone is suitabl...
In recent years, the increasing number of processor cores and limited increases in main memory bandwidth have led to the problem of the bandwidth wall, where memory bandwidth is b...
