Correction to RAMpage ASPLOS Paper
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper contains corrections to published results on the RAMpage memory hierarchy. The originally published results contained erroneous values for cache miss penalties for a conventional cache architecture against which the RAMpage hierarchy was being compared. The incorrect results showed that RAMpage with context switches on misses to DRAM had similar performance to a conventional 2-way associative L2 cache-based hierarchy. The corrected results show that the RAMpage hierarchy in fact outperforms a conventional 2-way associative cache hierarchy by up to 29%, for the measured variations.

The Effect of First-Level Cache Improvements on the RAMpage Memory Hierarchy
The RAMpage memory hierarchy is an alternative memory organization which addresses the growing CPU-DRAM speed gap, by replacing the lowest-level cache by an SRAM main memory. This paper presents some modifications to the RAMpage hierarchy. More aggressive first level cache implementations are shown to improve performance of the RAMpage model, when context switches were taken on misses to DRAM.
متن کاملScalability of the RAMpage Memory Hierarchy
The RAMpage memory hierarchy is an alternative to the traditional division between cache and main memory: main memory is moved up a level and DRAM is used as a paging device. As the CPUDRAM speed gap grows, it is expected that the RAMpage approach should become more viable. Results in this paper show that RAMpage scales better than a standard second-level cache, because the number of DRAM refer...
متن کاملFurther Cache and TLB Investigation of the RAMpage Memory Hierarchy
The RAMpage memory hierarchy is an alternative to the traditional division between cache and main memory: main memory is moved up a level and DRAM is used as a paging device. Earlier RAMpage work has shown that the RAMpage model scales up better with the growing CPU-DRAM speed gap, especially when context switches are taken on misses. This paper investigates the effect of more aggressive first-...
متن کاملExploring school rampage shootings: Research, theory, and policy
This paper examines US school rampage shootings, focusing on the period from the late 20th century to the present. School rampage shootings are thought to be distinct from other forms of violence because of the relatively safe rural setting in which most of these events occur, the lack of specified individual targets, and the number of deaths involved. While this type of violence seems to have ...
متن کاملImplications of Emerging Dram Technologies for the Rampage Memory Hierarchy
The RAMpage memory hierarchy is an attempt at devising a comprehensive strategy to address the growing DRAM-CPU speed gap. By moving the main memory up a level to the SRAM currently used to implement the lowest-level cache, a RAMpage system in effect implements a fully associative cache with no hit penalty (in the best case). Ordinary DRAM is relegated to a paging device. This paper shows that ...
