Logic-compatible Gain Cell eDRAM: A Real Alternative to SRAM

Embedded memories are a key component of IoT SoCs and recent applications such as Neural Network Accelerators. Unfortunately, SRAM based embedded memory has a large footprint which often covers more than...
Persistency for Synchronization-Free Regions

Emerging non-volatile memories (NVM), such as 3D XP and STT-MRAM, offer the promises of combining the performance and byte-addressability of DRAM with the density and non-volatility of NAND. Such non...
Memory Persistency - Programming Models for Byte-addressable Persistent Memory

For the past four years, researchers at the University of Michigan and Arm Research have collaborated to develop Memory Persistency -- programming models for byte-addressable persistent memory. Prof....
