Recent trends of CMOS scaling and increasing number of on-chip cores have led to a large
increase in the size of on-chip caches. Since SRAM has low density and consumes large …

Embedded systems normally have a tight energy budget. Since the on-chip cache typically
consumes 25%-50% of the processor's area and energy consumption, scratch pad memory …

Spin-transfer torque RAM (STT-RAM) has emerged as an energy-efficient and high-density
alternative to SRAM for large on-chip caches. However, its high write energy has been …

Recently, researchers have explored way-based hybrid SRAM-NVM (non-volatile memory)
last level caches (LLCs) to bring the best of SRAM and NVM together. However, the limited …

Hybrid caches consisting of static RAM (SRAM) and spin-torque transfer (STT)-RAM have
been proposed recently for energy efficiency. To explore the advantages of hybrid cache …

Hybrid cache architectures (HCAs) containing both SRAM and non-volatile memory (NVM)
have been proposed to overcome the disadvantages of NVM-based cache architecture …

Smartphones are becoming increasingly energy-hungry to support feature-rich applications,
posing a lot of pressure on battery lifetime and making energy consumption a non-negligible …

Micro-Controller Units (MCUs) are widely adopted ubiquitous computing devices. Due to
tight cost and energy constraints, MCUs often integrate very limited internal RAM memory on …

Spin-Torque Transfer RAM (STT-RAM) is a promising candidate for SRAM replacement
because of its excellent features, such as fast read access, high density, low leakage power …

NAND flash memory has been employed as disk cache in recent years. It has the
advantages of high performance, low leakage power, and cost efficiency. However, flash …
