Testing embedded memories is becoming an industry-wide concern with the advent of deep-submicron technology and system-on-chip applications. We present a prototype chip for a progr...
DRAM vendors have traditionally optimized the cost-perbit metric, often making design decisions that incur energy penalties. A prime example is the overfetch feature in DRAM, wher...

Memory system bottlenecks limit performance for many applications, and computations with strided access patterns are among the hardest hit. The streams used in such applications h...
With increasing speed and power density, high-performance memories, including FB-DIMM (Fully Buffered DIMM) and DDR2 DRAM, now begin to require dynamic thermal management (DTM) a...
