Processors for mobile multimedia devices must be low power while having excellent performance on media applications. Our processor, VIRAM1, accomplishes this by combining vector processing with embedded DRAM. VIRAM1 includes a scalar core, 13 megabytes (104 megabits) of DRAM, and four vector datapaths. It consumes 2 watts at 200 MHz and executes up to 9.6 giga-ops (16 bit) per second.

This paper discusses the relationship of research to policy in the matter of dram shop liability and server training in the USA. The discussion is made difficult by the apparent lack of any such relationship. While research in the area has only just been published, dram shop liability in the USA actually dates to the nineteenth century, with its current form shaped by the repeal of prohibition ...

In this study, a capacitorless one-transistor dynamic random-access memory (1T-DRAM) based on polycrystalline silicon (Poly-Si) metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) with storage layer separated using separation oxide was designed and analyzed technology computer-aided design (TCAD). The channel layers were to improve the inferior retention time of conventional 1T-DRAM, we ...

The cells in dynamic random access memory (DRAM) degrade over time as a result of aging, leading to poor performance and potential security vulnerabilities. With globalized horizontal supply chain, aged counterfeit DRAMs could end up on the market, posing significant threat if employed critical infrastructure. In this work, we look at retention behavior commercial DRAM chips from real-time sili...

A major challenge in multi-core real-time systems is the interference problem on the shared hardware components amongst cores. Examples of these shared components include buses, on-chip caches, and off-chip dynamic random access memories (DRAMs). The problem arises because different cores in the system interfere with each other, while competing to access the shared hardware components. It is a ...

The volume of data generated by research, commercial, industrial, communication, entertainment and other fields is growing exponentially. There is a need for faster and very large amounts of main memory for analyzing such volumes of data in reasonable amounts of time. In addition, these systems need to be as energy efficient as possible, since the energy requirements of most high-performance co...

CONTEXT Dram shop liability holds the owner or server(s) at a bar, restaurant, or other location where a patron, adult or underage, consumed his or her last alcoholic beverage responsible for harms subsequently inflicted by the patron on others. Liability in a state can be established by case law or statute. Overservice laws prohibit the sale of alcoholic beverages to intoxicated patrons drinki...
