Title of dissertation : SCALABLE AND ENERGY EFFICIENT DRAM REFRESH TECHNIQUES
Title of dissertation: SCALABLE AND ENERGY EFFICIENT DRAM REFRESH TECHNIQUES Ishwar Singh Bhati Doctor of Philosophy, 2014 Dissertation directed by: Professor Bruce Jacob Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering University of Maryland, College Park A DRAM cell requires periodic refresh operations to preserve data in its leaky capacitor. Previously, the overheads of refresh operations w...
متن کاملThe Evaluation of a Novel Concurrent-Refresh-Aware DRAM System
The DRAM cell density has been continuously increased as technology scales. The increasing DRAM density requires longer refresh time because more rows need to be protected in a single refresh. Since no memory access is allowed during a refresh, the refresh penalty is no longer trivial and can incur significant performance degradation. To mitigate the refresh penalty, a ConcurrentREfresh-Aware M...
متن کاملUnderstanding Density and High Density
Physical density is a numerical measure of the concentration of individuals or physical structures within a given geographical unit. It is an objective, quantitative and neutral spatial indicator. However, in practice, physical density takes on a real meaning only if it is related to a specified scale of reference. For instance, density expressed as ratio of population to land area can vary sig...
متن کاملCAM-based retention-aware DRAM (CRA-DRAM) for refresh power reduction
As the main component for modern main memory system, DRAM stores data by capacitors, which must be refreshed periodically to keep the charges. As the size and speed of DRAM devices continue to increase, the overhead of refresh has caused a great power and performance dissipation. In this paper, we proposed a CAM (content-addressable memory)-based Retention-Aware DRAM (CRA-DRAM) system, a hardwa...
متن کاملUnderstanding and Improving the Latency of DRAM-Based Memory Systems
Over the past two decades, the storage capacity and access bandwidth of main memory have improved tremendously, by 128x and 20x, respectively. These improvements are mainly due to the continuous technology scaling of DRAM (dynamic random-access memory), which has been used as the physical substrate for main memory. In stark contrast with capacity and bandwidth, DRAM latency has remained almost ...
