Virtual memory is a valuable concept in computer architecture that allows you to run large, sophisticated programs on a computer even if it has a relatively small amount of RAM. A computer with ...

CATALOG DESCRIPTION: Design and evaluation of modern uniprocessor computing systems. Evaluation methodology/metrics and caveats, instruction set design, advanced pipelining, instruction level ...

Gaps in the memory hierarchy have created openings for new types of memory, and there is no shortage of possibilities. It’s no secret that today’s memory chips and storage devices are struggling to ...

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, ...

The Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degree is conferred by the School of Engineering primarily in recognition of competence in the subject field and the ability to investigate engineering problems ...

Given the accuracy of Moore’s Law to the development of integrated circuits over the years, one would think that our present day period is no different from the past decades in terms of computer ...

Data prefetching has emerged as a critical approach to mitigate the performance bottlenecks imposed by memory access latencies in modern computer architectures. By predicting the data likely to be ...

For several decades, NAND Flash has been the primary technology for low-cost and large-density data storage applications. This non-volatile memory is present in all major electronic end-use markets, ...

Broader electronics markets have also rebounded at the same time AI demand has tightened supply, creating a “super cycle” for ...
