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 announcement this week by Intel and Micron Technology of 3D XPoint memory, which will sit somewhere between DRAM and NAND flash in future systems, has everyone thinking about the architectural, ...

Memory technology and optimizations, which examined innovations in main memory that offer improved system performance; Memory Hierarchy Design – Part 4. Virtual memory and virtual machines, which ...

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.
