Phase change memory (PCM) has emerged as a promising candidate for next-generation memories, owing to its low power consumption, non-volatility, and high storage-density. However, PCM has limited write endurance, i.e., it can only undergo a limited number of write operations, leading to a short lifecycle. Thus, it is an important issue to find out an efficient way to use PCM in memory hierarchy...
