With wide adoption of chip multiprocessors (CMPs) in modern computers, there is an increasing demand for large capacity main memory systems. The emerging PCM (Phase Change Memory) ...
Memory delays represent a major bottleneck in embedded systems performance. Newer memory modules exhibiting efficient access modes (e.g., page-, burst-mode) partly alleviate this ...
This paper discusses the trade-off between calculations and memory accesses in a 3D graphics tile renderer for visualization of data from medical scanners. The performance require...

Focusing on embedded applications, scratchpad memories (SPMs) look like a best-compromise solution when taking into account performance, energy consumption and die area. The main ...
Memory system optimizations have been well studied on single-threaded systems; however, the wide use of simultaneous multithreading (SMT) techniques raises questions over their ef...
