 +      * Acceleration can be done in multiple ways
 +        * ship to a big core
 +        * increase the frequency
 +        * Priorize the thread in share resources (memory scheduler always schedule reqeusts from the thread first, etc.)
 +      * Bottleneck table keeps track of different thread'​s bottleneck and determine the criticality

 +  * DRAM scaling problem
 +  * Possible solutions to the scaling problem
 +    * Less leakage DRAM
 +    * Heterogeneous DRAM (TL-DRAM, etc.)
 +    * Add more functionality to DRAM
 +    * Denser design (3D stack)
 +    * Different technology
 +      * NVM
 +  * Non volatile memory
 +    * Resistive memory
 +      * PCM
 +        * Inject current to change the phase
 +        * Scales better than DRAM
 +          * Multiple bits per cell
 +            * Wider resistence range
 +        * No refresh is needed
 +        * Downside: Latency and write endurance
 +      * STT-MRAM
 +        * Inject current to change the polarity
 +      * Memristor
 +        * Inject current to change the structure
