Description
Is your memory hierarchy stopping your microprocessor from performing at the high level it should be? Memory Systems: Cache, DRAM, Disk
shows you how to resolve this problem.
The book tells you everything you need to know about the logical design and operation, physical
design and operation, performance characteristics and resulting design trade-offs, and the energy consumption of modern memory hierarchies.
You learn how to to tackle the challenging optimization problems that result from the side-effects that can appear at any point in the
entire hierarchy.
As a result you will be able to design and emulate the entire memory hierarchy.
Audience
Practicing engineers in microarchitecture and computer system design, embedded system design, low power design; graduate students in advanced computer architecture.
