162 Chatterjee, Niladrish; Balasubramonian, Rajeev; Davis, Alan L.Rethinking DRAM design and organization for energy-constrained multicoresDRAM vendors have traditionally optimized for low cost and high performance, often making design decisions that incur energy penalties. For example, a single conventional DRAM access activates thousands of bitlines in many chips, to return a single cache line to the CPU. The other bits may be access...DRAM power consumption; Data-center power; Multicore memory; Trapeze Interactive Poster2010-03-15
