Memory Hierarchy Design – Part 3. Memory technology and optimizations, which examined innovations in main memory that offer improved system performance This installment, which examines architecture ...

The QoS-aware memory hierarchy So the idea behind a QoS-aware memory hierarchy is relatively straightforward (though I have oversimplified a bit here). But the devil, as always, is in the details.

Virtual memory and virtual machines, which examined architecture support for protecting processes from each other via virtual memory and the role of virtual machines This installment, which puts it ...

As a result, memory now dominates system cost. This paper argues for a paradigm shift from today’s simple memory hierarchy toward specialized memory architectures that exploit application-specific ...

Processor architectures and filing systems will need dramatic redesigns to take advantage of upcoming non-volatile memory technologies, Intel has said.
