The QoS-aware memory hierarchy So the idea behind a QoS-aware memory hierarchy is relatively straightforward (though I have oversimplified a bit here). But the devil, as always, is in the details.

Memory Hierarchy Shakeup Gaps in the memory hierarchy have created openings for new types of memory, and there is no shortage of possibilities.

New non-volatile memory devices store information using different physical mechanisms from those employed in today's memories and could achieve substantial improvements in computing performance ...

These are exciting times for the memory hierarchy in systems. New kinds of DRAM and non-volatile memories are becoming available to system architects to enhance the performance and responsiveness of ...

The memory hierarchy is going to be smashed open, with new layers of pooled and switched memory. What Prakash Chauhan, a hardware engineer who worked at converged infrastructure pioneer Egenera back ...

Basics of Memory Hierarchies: A Quick Review The increasing size and thus importance of this gap led to the migration of the basics of memory hierarchy into undergraduate courses in computer ...

2.3 Memory Technology and Optimizations Main memory is the next level down in the hierarchy. Main memory satisfies the demands of caches and serves as the I/O interface, as it is the destination of ...

Processor architectures and filing systems will need dramatic redesigns to take advantage of upcoming non-volatile memory technologies, Intel has said.

The memory and storage hierarchy is a useful way of thinking about computer systems, and the dizzying array of memory options available to the system designer. Many different parameters characterize ...
