Abstract

[Figure 1.1 depicts the growing disparity between processor and memory performance in the past four decades. Innovations in microarchitecture, circuits, and fabrication technologies have led to an exponential increase in processor performance over this period. Meanwhile, DRAM has primarily benefitted from increases in density and DRAM speeds have improved only nominally. While future projections indicate that processor performance improvement may not continue at the same rate, the current gap in performance will necessitate techniques to mitigate long memory access latencies for years to come.]
