Although DRAM capacity and bandwidth have increased sharply by the advances in
technology and standards, its latency and energy per access have remained almost …

Growth in core count creates an increasing demand for interconnect bandwidth, driving a
change from shared buses to packet-switched on-chip interconnects. However, this …

In some examples, a media controller includes a buffer and controller circuitry. The controller
circuitry may receive, from a memory device linked to the media controller, an indication of a …

Optimizing cache locality has always been important since the emergence of caches, and
numerous cache locality optimization schemes have been published in compiler literature …

Row buffer locality is a consequence of programs' inherent spatial locality that the memory
system can easily exploit for significant performance gains and power savings. However, as …

The emergence of multicore platforms offers several opportunities for boosting ap-plication
performance. These opportunities, which include parallelism and data locality benefits …
