CAM-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 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 کاملDynamic voltage frequency scaling-aware refresh management for 3D DRAM over processor architecture
ELECT Three-dimensional integrated systems that combine large-capacity dynamic random access memory (DRAM) with high-performance processors represent a promising solution to implementing high-performance computing. However, in such configurations stacked DRAM cells will inevitably be exposed to high temperatures generated by the processor, thereby necessitating DRAMs with high refresh rates dri...
متن کاملEnergy Conservation in Memory Hierarchies using Power-Aware Cached-DRAM
Main memory has become one of the largest contributors to overall energy consumption and offers many opportunities for power/energy reduction. In this paper, we propose a new memory organization, called Power-Aware Cached-DRAM (PA-CDRAM), that integrates a moderately sized cache directly into a memory module. We use this cache to turn a memory bank off immediately after a memory access to reduc...
