A technical paper titled “Improving the Representativeness of Simulation Intervals for the Cache Memory System” was published by researchers at Complutense University of Madrid, imec, and KU Leuven.

Though computers store all data to be manipulated off-chip in main memory (aka RAM), data required regularly by the processor is also temporarily stored in a die-stacked DRAM (dynamic random access ...

Chip Multi-Processors (CMPs) are the next attractive point in the design space of future high performance processors. There is a growing need for simulation methodologies to determine the memory ...

In the eighties, computer processors became faster and faster, while memory access times stagnated and hindered additional performance increases. Something had to be done to speed up memory access and ...
