Architecting a Novel Hybrid Cache with Low Energy

摘要
To handle the memory wall problem and satisfy the high processing speed of the multicore processors, there is significant demand for a large cache capacity in future. The 3D die-stacking DRAM cache with high density can be used as a large cache compared with conventional SRAM cache. However, energy becomes an inevitable challenge with the increasing size of DRAM cache. STT-RAM with near-zero leakage can be integrated with DRAM cache as a hybrid cache to reduce static energy, but the high write energy of STT-RAM brings another energy challenge. We observe that volatile STT-RAM can be utilized in the hybrid cache as a buffer to balance the high static energy of DRAM and the high dynamic energy of non-volatile STT-RAM.
