Compared to planar (ie, two-dimensional) NAND flash memory, 3D NAND flash memory
uses a new flash cell design, and vertically stacks dozens of silicon layers in a single chip …

Main memory (DRAM) consumes as much as half of the total system power in a computer
today, due to the increasing demand for memory capacity and bandwidth. There is a …

Hybrid storage systems (HSS) use multiple different storage devices to provide high and
scalable storage capacity at high performance. Data placement across different devices is …

Increasing single-cell DRAM error rates have pushed DRAM manufacturers to adopt on-die
error-correction coding (ECC), which operates entirely within a DRAM chip to improve …

Bulk bitwise operations, ie, bitwise operations on large bit vectors, are prevalent in a wide
