This paper makes the case that pin bandwidth will be a critical consideration for future microprocessors. We show that many of the techniques used to tolerate growing memory laten...
This paper proposes a specialized memory structure called CA-RAM (Content Addressable Random Access Memory) to accelerate search operations present in many important real-world ap...

Phase change memory (PCM) is an emerging memory technology for future computing systems. Compared to other non-volatile memory alternatives, PCM is more matured to production, and...
— Modern CPUs operate at GHz frequencies, but the latencies of memory accesses are still relatively large, in the order of hundreds of cycles. Deeper cache hierarchies with large...

Different uses of memory protection schemes have different needs in terms of granularity. For example, heap security can benefit from chunk separation (by using protected "pa...
