With the recent proliferation of memory-intensive workloads such as deep learning, analyzing memory access characteristics for efficient memory management is becoming increasingly important. Since read and write operations in memory access have different characteristics, an efficient memory management policy should take into accountthe characteristics of thesetwo operationsseparately. Although some previous studies have considered the different characteristics of reads and writes, they require a modified hardware architecture supporting read bits and write bits. Unlike previous approaches, we propose a software-based management policy under the existing memory architecture for considering read/write characteristics. The proposed policy logically partitions memory space into the read/write area and the write area by making use of reference bits and dirty bits provided in modern paging systems. Simulation experiments with memory access traces show that our approach performs better than the CLOCK algorithm by 23% on average, and the effect is similar to the previous policy with hardware support.

In this paper, we propose an implementation of JPEG2000 codec on the ARM9 Processor which includes independent memory management facility. The codec and memory management facility together can control the encoding and the decoding process effectively within available memory area. Embedded appliances like cellular phones have very limited internal memory which can't be expanded easily. However, they should provide various applications and services using restricted memory resources. The proposed codec with memory management can provide image quality that is identical to the original image on embedded platform. The implemented codec has no memory conflict with other applications. It shows that the proposed codec can manage memory resources efficiently.

Adaptive memory management is a serious issue in data stream management. Data stream differ from the traditional stored relational model in several aspect such as the stream arrives online, high volume in size, skewed data distributions. Data skew is a common property of massive data streams. We propose the predicted allocation strategy, which uses predictive processing to cope with time varying data skew. This processing includes memory usage estimation and indexing with timestamp. Our experimental study shows that the predictive strategy reduces both required memory space and latency time for skewed data over varying time.

Memory management is one of the most important problems in implementing viterbi decoders. This paper introduces a novel traceback scheme for memory management of high-speed viterbi decoders. The new method balances the read and the write oeprations by inserting dummy write operations into the traceback process, resulting in simpler memory access schemes. It is suitable for VLSI implementation since it uses minimal memory requirements, it does not need global interconnections, and its address genration shceme for accessig memory contents is very simple.

Design Rule이 작아짐에 따라 Transistor performance 향상을 위한 여러 방안중 SEG 공정이 적용되고 있으며 이에 따른 Transistor 특성 연구 결과이다. SEG공정 적용시 SEG Profile에 따라 Transistor의 Short Channel Effect 열화가 발생하였고 그 원인은 Sidewall Facet발생으로 추정되며 이를 개선시 Tr 특성이 개선됨을 확인하였다.

As smartphones support a variety of applications and their memory demand keeps increasing, the design of an efficient memory management policy is becoming increasingly important. Meanwhile, as nonvolatile memory (NVM) technologies such as PCM and STT-MRAM have emerged as new memory media of smartphones, characterizing memory references for NVM-based smartphone memory systems is needed. For the deep understanding of memory access features in smartphones, this paper performs comprehensive analysis of memory references for various smartphone applications. We first analyze the temporal locality and frequency of memory reference behaviors to quantify the effects of the two properties with respect to the re-reference likelihood of pages. We also analyze the skewed popularity of memory references and model it as a Zipf-like distribution. We expect that the result of this study will be a good guidance to design an efficient memory management policy for future smartphones.

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.

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.

본 논문은 정밀한 메모리 워크로드 분석을 위해 리눅스 기반의 커널 수준에서 프로세스의 메모리 관리 구조체에 직접 접근하는 방법을 이용하여 고속으로 커널 데이터를 수집하는 기법을 제안한다. 기존의 분석기들은 데이터 수집 속도가 느리고 제공되는 데이터의 제한으로 인하여 확장성이 부족하다. 제안 기법은 메모리 관리 구조체 내의 프로세스 메모리정보, 페이지 테이블, 페이지 구조체를 직접 수집하는 방법을 이용하여 기존의 기법 보다 빠르게 커널 데이터를 수집하며, 사용자가 원하는 데이터를 선택하여 수집할 수 있다. 제안 기법을 통해 실제 실행 중인 프로세스의 메모리 관리 데이터를 수집하고 메모리 워크로드에 대한 분석을 수행하였다.
