Efficient Use of Memory Bandwidth to Improve Network Processor Throughput: This paper considers the efficiency of packet buffers used in packet switches built using Network Processors NPs. Packet buffers are typically implemented using DRAM, which provides plentiful buffering at a reasonable cost. The problem addressed in this paper is that a typical NP workload may be unable to utilize the...; Tags: Processor, Bandwidth, DRAM, Network, Memory Bandwidth, Packet Buffer, Memory, Routers & Switches, Semiconductors, Hardware, Components, Networking; White papers 2008-01-01

Analysis of the PASR Standard and Its Usability in Handheld Operating Systems Such as Linux: With companies now producing Low Power DRAM for handhelds, a new feature was developed called Partial Array Self Refresh PASR. This feature enables the DRAM to retain state in only part of memory, thus further reducing the self-refresh power. If handheld operating systems could use this feature, they could potentially...; Tags: Linux, DRAM, Operating System, Analysis, Handhelds, Hardware; White papers 2007-09-25

Improving Energy Efficiency by Making DRAM Less Randomly Accessed: Existing techniques manage power for the main memory by passively monitoring the memory traffic, and based on which, predict when to power down and into which low power state to transition. However, passively monitoring the memory traffic can be far from being effective as idle periods between consecutive memory accesses...; Tags: Technique, DRAM, Association For Computing Machinery, Memory Traffic, Productivity; White papers 2005-08-10
