A Performance Conserving Approach for Reducing Memory Power Consumption in Multi-Core Systems (open access)

A Performance Conserving Approach for Reducing Memory Power Consumption in Multi-Core Systems

Article proposes a strategy called Dynamic Bank Partitioning (DBP), which allocates memory banks to different applications based on their memory access characteristic, and also proposes an adaptive method to dynamically select an optimal page policy for each bank according to the characteristics of memory accesses that each bank receives to further reduce power consumption.
