System-level exploration of memory architectures is one of the key issues in successful implementation of datatransfer dominated applications. Usually, one of the main design bottlenecks is the memory access bandwidth. Transformations, rearranging the layout of the data records stored in memory, are very effective to improve the locality of the data transfers but usually lead to a large memory ...

In this paper we argue that autobiographical memory (AM) activity across sleep and wake can provide insight into the nature of dreaming, and vice versa. Activated memories within the sleeping brain reflect one's personal life history (autobiography). They can appear in largely fragmentary forms and differ from conventional manifestations of episodic memory. Autobiographical memories in dreams c...

In four experiments, a computerized Corsi-like paradigm was used to assess which of the many reference frames are used in visuospatial short-term memory. By varying the relative orientation (slanted +/-45° or in an upright position) of the head and the displays, we modulate the utility of the allocentric, egocentric (eye- and head-centred), and template-centred reference frames. The results of ...

The requirement that memory he superposition-free imposes a restrictive condition on the structure of neural models. A simple model which satisfies this condition consists of two levels of neurons, with primary level neurons tiring in response to external input and secondary (reference) neurons modifying activated primaries in such a way that they can later fire these primaries. Reference neuro...

This reference manual targets application developers. It provides complete information on how to use the STM32F405xx/07xx, STM32F415xx/17xx, STM32F42xxx and STM32F43xxx microcontroller memory and peripherals. The STM32F405xx/07xx, STM32F415xx/17xx, STM32F42xxx and STM32F43xxx constitute a family of microcontrollers with different memory sizes, packages and peripherals. For ordering information,...

Region-based memory management systems structures memory by grouping objects in regions under program control. Memory is reclaimed by deleting regions, freeing all objects stored therein. Our compiler for C with regions, RC, prevents unsafe region deletions by keeping a count of references to each region. RC is compiled to C. Using type annotations that make the structure of a program’s regions...

It has been suggested that there are systematic distortions in children's memory for temporal durations, such that children's memory is not just less accurate than that of adults but qualitatively different. Experiment 1 replicated the memory distortion effect by demonstrating developmental change in the tendency to confuse a reference duration with one that is shorter rather than longer than i...

EEcient data motion has been key in high performance computing almost since the rst electronic computers were built. Providing suucient memory bandwidth to balance the capacity of processors led to memory hierarchies, banked and interleaved memories. With the rapid evolution of MOS technologies, microprocessor and memory designs, it is realistic to build systems with thousands of processors and...

Modeling the effect of memory size on page faults is very difficult, because they are the result of the interaction between process reference behavior and page replacement policy. Moreover, a change in memory size will alter the timing and pattern of references in a multiprogramming mix. This paper presents an equation to model how memory size affects page faults. The equation is derived with t...

This study investigates the use of short-term memory for pitch recognition in a Western (12-tone) vs. a 10-tone equal temperament context. 10 subjects with at least one year of formal music and theory training participated in an experiment that consisted of two identical music listening tests (one per tuning system) in which they were trained to recall a reference tone and count the number of t...
