Abstract :
Main memory increasingly affects computer system performance due to the exponentially growing performance gap between microprocessor and DRAM technology. A novel address mapping scheme is presented that, compared to conventional schemes, allows a much more efficient use of main memory with respect to performance as well as flexible support of different memory configurations. The mapping scheme can be used to build a high-performance memory that can adapt its operation to the way it is being used.
