“There is limited new wafer capacity in the system today,” Klein explained. “There are not a lot of new fabs being built. What we are seeing is demand for diversified, differentiated memory systems, ...

Architectures based on memory hierarchy address these issues, and what better source for the details of this approach than an excerpt on the subject from the seminal book on Computer Architecture by ...

Computer Memory Hierarchy ... As a result, their capacity is usually more limited. It is also true the other way around, slower memory and storage system almost always have more capacity.

Memory Hierarchy Design – Part 2. Ten advanced optimizations of cache performance, which reviewed ten advanced optimizations of cache performance; Memory Hierarchy Design – Part 3. Memory technology ...

Computer engineering researchers have developed software using two new techniques to help computer chip designers improve memory systems. The techniques rely on 'performance cloning,' which can ...

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.

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.
