Alleviating the DRAM Capacity Bottleneck in Consumer Devices with NVMs

popularity

A new technical paper titled “Extending Memory Capacity in Modern Consumer Systems With Emerging Non-Volatile Memory: Experimental Analysis and Characterization Using the Intel Optane SSD” was published by researchers at ETH Zurich, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, Google, and Rivos.

Abstract Excerpt
“DRAM scalability is becoming a limiting factor to the available memory capacity in consumer devices. As a potential solution, manufacturers have introduced emerging non-volatile memories (NVMs) into the market, which can be used to increase the memory capacity of consumer devices by augmenting or replacing DRAM. In this work, we provide the first analysis of the impact of extending the main memory space of consumer devices using off-the-shelf NVMs.”
