STT-RAM is attracting as a next generation Non-volatile memory for replacing cache memory with low leakage energy, high integration and memory access performance similar to SRAM. However, there is problem of write operations as the other Non_volatile memory. Hybrid cache memory using SRAM and STT-RAM is attracting attention as a cache memory structure with lowe power consumption. Despite this, reducing the leakage energy consumption by the STT-RAM is still lacking access to the Dynamic energy. In this paper, we proposed as energy management method such as a way-selection approach for hybrid L2 cache fo SRAM and STT-RAM and memory selection method of write/read operation. According to the simulation results, the proposed hybrid cache memory reduced the average energy consumption by 40% on SPEC CPU 2006, compared with SRAM cache memory.

Phase Change Memory(PCM) with low power consumption and high integration attracts attention as a next generation nonvolatile memory replacing DRAM. However, there is a problem that PCM has long latency and high energy consumption due to the writing operation. The PCM & DRAM hybrid memory structure is a fruitful structure that can overcome the disadvantages of such PCM. However, the page replacement algorithm is important, because these structures use two memory of different characteristics. The purpose of this document is to effectively manage pages that can be referenced in memory, taking into account the characteristics of DRAM and PCM. In order to manage these pages, this paper proposes an page replacement algorithm based on frequently accessed and recently paged. According to our simulation, the proposed algorithm for the DRAM&PCM hybrid can reduce the energy-delay product by around 10%, compared with Clock-DWF and CLOCK-HM.

In general, PCM (Phase Change Memory) is unsuitable as a main memory because it has limitations: high read/write latency and low endurance. However, the DRAM&PCM hybrid memory with the same level is one of the effective structures for a next generation main memory because it can utilize an advantage of both DRAM and PCM. Therefore, it needs an effective page management method for exploiting each memory characteristics dynamically and adaptively. So we aim reducing an access time and write count of PCM by using an effective page replacement. According to our simulation, the proposed algorithm for the DRAM&PCM hybrid can reduce the PCM access count by around 60% and the PCM write count by 42% given the same PCM size, compared with Clock-DWF algorithm.

Recently, hybrid transactional memory (HyTM) has gained much interest from researchers because it combines the advantages of hardware transactional memory (HTM) and software transactional memory (STM). To provide the concurrency control of transactions, the existing HyTM-based studies use a bloom filter. However, they fail to overcome the typical false positive errors of a bloom filter. Though the existing studies use a global lock, the efficiency of global lock-based memory allocation is significantly low in multi-core environment. In this paper, we propose an efficient hybrid transactional memory scheme using near-optimal retry computation and sophisticated memory management in order to efficiently process transactions in multi-core environment. First, we propose a near-optimal retry computation algorithm that provides an efficient HTM configuration using machine learning algorithms, according to the characteristic of a given workload. Second, we provide an efficient concurrency control for transactions in different environments by using a sophisticated bloom filter. Third, we propose a memory management scheme being optimized for the CPU cache line, in order to provide a fast transaction processing. Finally, it is shown from our performance evaluation that our HyTM scheme achieves up to 2.5 times better performance by using the Stanford transactional applications for multi-processing (STAMP) benchmarks than the state-of-the-art algorithms.

Modern cloud computing is rapidly changing from traditional hypervisor-based virtual machines to container-based cloud-native environments. Due to limitations in I/O performance required for both virtual machines and containers, the use of high-speed storage (SSD, NVMe, etc.) is increasing, and in-memory computing using main memory is also emerging. Running a virtual environment on main memory gives better performance compared to other storage arrays. However, RAM used as main memory is expensive and due to its volatile characteristics, data is lost when the system goes down. Therefore, additional work is required to run the virtual environment in main memory. In this paper, we propose a hybrid in-memory storage that combines a block storage such as a high-speed SSD with main memory to safely operate virtual machines and containers on main memory. In addition, the proposed storage showed 6 times faster write speed and 42 times faster read operation compared to regular disks for virtual machines, and showed the average 12% improvement of container's performance tests.

DRAM은 빠른 쓰기/읽기 속도와 무한한 쓰기 횟수로 인해 컴퓨터 시스템에서 주로 메인 메모리로 사용되지만 저장된 데이터를 유지하기 위해 지속적인 전원공급이 필요하다. 반면, PCM은 비휘발성 메모리로 전원공급 없이 저장된 데이터를 유지할 수 있으며 DRAM과 같이 바이트 단위의 접근과 덮어쓰기가 가능하다는 점에서 DRAM을 대체할 수 있는 메모리로 주목받고 있다. 하지만 PCM은 느린 쓰기/읽기 속도와 제한된 쓰기 횟수로 인해 메인 메모리로 사용되기 어렵다. 이런 이유로 DRAM과 PCM의 장점을 모두 활용하기 위한 하이브리드 메인 메모리가 제안되었고 이에 대한 연구가 활발하다. 본 논문에서는 DRAM과 PCM으로 구성된 하이브리드 메인 메모리를 위한 새로운 페이지 교체 기법을 제안한다. PCM의 단점을 보완하기 위해 제안 기법은 PCM 쓰기 횟수를 줄이는 것을 목표로 하며 실험결과에서 알 수 있듯이 본 논문의 제안 기법은 다른 페이지 교체 기법에 비해 PCM 쓰기 횟수를 80.5% 줄인다.

본 논문은 스마트폰 시스템에서 DRAM과 NVRAM으로 구성된 이기종 메모리를 위한 페이지 배치 기법을 제안한다. 이기종 메모리에 관한 기존 연구와 달리 본 논문은 메모리 접근에 대한 오프라인 분석에 기반하여 메모리 페이지를 배치한다. 이는 스마트폰 메모리 접근이 애플리케이션의 종류와 무관하게 특정 주소 영역에 집중적으로 나타나며, 쓰기 연산에 있어 그 편향성이 일관되게 나타난다는 점을 반영한 것이다. 제안한 기법은 오프라인 분석 결과를 토대로 NVRAM에 쓰기 트래픽이 적게 발생하도록 페이지 배치를 수행하며, 실험 결과 NVRAM에 발생하는 쓰기량을 성능 저하 없이 평균 61% 줄이는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

Modern computers provide tremendous computing capability and a large memory system. Hybrid memories consist of next generation memory devices and are adopted in high performance systems. However, the increased complexity of the microprocessor makes it difficult to operate the system effectively. In this paper, we propose a simple data migration method called Bandwidth-aware Data Migration (BDM) to efficiently use memory systems for high performance processors with hybrid memory. BDM monitors the status of applications running on the system using hardware performance monitoring tools and migrates the appropriate pages of selected applications to High Bandwidth Memory (HBM). BDM selects applications whose bandwidth usages are high and also evenly distributed among the threads. Experimental results show that BDM improves execution time by an average of 20% over baseline execution.

So far, the multiple path MINs to provide redundant paths in the traditional UPP MINs have been realized by adding additional hardware such as extra stages, duplicated data links, or multiple copies of sthe MIN. And the traditional MINs do not exploit locality: communication with all processor-memory paris takes the same amount of time. Also so far there has been little progress for exploiting locality of reference in MINs. In this paper, we present a new topology MIN, hybrid MIN that is constructed with 2N-3 SEs which is far fewer SEs than that of traditional MINs. Although the hybrid MIN is constructed with 2N-3 SEs, the hybrid MIN satisfies full access capability (FAC) and has redundant paths(but providing single path for 2 memory modules of each processor). Moreover the has redundant paths (but providing single path for 2 memory modules of each processor). Moreover the Hybrid MIN provides shortcut path between pairs which have frequent dat acommunication (locality of reference). Its performance under varing degrees of localized communication is analyzed.
