Of course, what I've just described is only one way to use the DQM, counters, extended tag RAM, and other QoS hardware in order to enforce cache usage constraints on a per-thread basis.

No single memory sub-system is “best” in all categories, and therefore, most systems use a variety of memory solutions from different levels in the hierarchy to achieve the desired results. High-end ...

Figure 2.1 shows a multilevel memory hierarchy, including typical sizes and speeds of access. Figure 2.1. The levels in a typical memory hierarchy in a server computer shown on top (a) and in a ...

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 ...

Today's computing systems use a hierarchy of volatile and non-volatile data storage devices to achieve an optimal trade-off between cost and performance 2.The portion of the memory that is the ...

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 ...

It is, in fact, suitable for both stand-alone and embedded memories at various points in the memory hierarchy, going all the way from non-volatile DRAM to Flash-like memories.

The DDR Memory Family Double-Data Rate (DDR) is an evolutionary progress from SD-RAM (SDR) technology, which was first introduced in 1993. As that technology reaches its limit in 1999, DDR ...

The new memory types also will impact the existing memory/storage hierarchy. Today’s hierarchy is fairly straightforward. SRAM is integrated into the processor for cache. DRAM is used for main memory.
