Computation Pushdown across Layers in the Storage Hierarchy
The memory and storage hierarchy deepens in modern systems. To mitigate the low performance of memory/storage devices at the bottom of the hierarchy, near-data processing has been studied across different memory and storage devices as a means to reduce access latency...
Memory-centric Computing Systems: What’s Old Is New Again
The Memory (Bandwidth and Capacity) Wall The “memory wall” problem, originally coined by Wulf and McKee in the 1990s, pointed out that the rate of improvement in microprocessor performance far exceeds the rate of improvement in DRAM memory speed. Such trend rendered...
Think Globally, Design Deliberately: Taking an Inclusive Approach to Innovation
Digital technologies have had an undeniable influence on humanity’s well-being, transforming all aspects of our lives. Underpinned by advances in process technology, computer architecture, software engineering, and artificial intelligence (AI), the rapid technological...
20 years of NoCs
Twenty years ago research into networks-on-chip (NoCs) was launched with the publication of the foundational Dally and Towles paper, “Route Packets not Wires,” in the Design Automation Conference (DAC) in June 2001. In this blog post, I explore the evolution of...Subscribe
