Research on High-performance Memory System Design
The rapidly development of the semiconductor technology have been greatly affecting the system configuration of computer system. The continuous growing gap between processor and memory speed has become an important drawback in the overall computer performance. The reason caused Processor-Memory Performance Gap is first discussed from the point of the different semiconductor technology of processor and memory. After analyzing the locality principles of application programs, the design of memory hierarchy structure and memory interleaving is discussed which are two techniques based on principles of locality to improve memory performance. Then two novel techniques are presented. Multi-windows cache is used to improve cache hit ration in multi-core or hyper-thread processors. Intelligent memory system is used to increase bandwidth by integrating computational power with memory.All these techniques are effective to improve memory performance and attenuate the disparity between processor and memory.
