Computer memory capacity has expanded greatly, allowing machines to access data and perform tasks very quickly, but accessing the computer's central processing unit, or CPU, for each task slows the ...

Researchers at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab have designed a system where programs can have access to ad hoc optimally allocated cache memory. In a simulation test system with ...

In this paper, the authors analyze the trade-offs in architecting stacked DRAM either as part of main memory or as a hardware-managed cache. Using stacked DRAM as part of main memory increases the ...
