 +  * Flash controller
 +  * Flash memory
 +  * Garbage collection in flash
 +  * Overhead in flash memory
 +    * Erase (off the critical path, but takes a long time)
 +  * Different types of DRAM
 +  * DRAM design choices
 +    * Cost/​density/​latency/​BW/​Yield
 +  * Sense Amplifier
 +    * How do they work
 +  * Dual data rate
 +  * Subarray
 +  * Rowclone
 +    * Moving bulk of data from one row to others
 +    * Lower latency and BW when performing copies/​zeroes out the data
 +  * TL-DRAM
 +    * Far segment
 +    * Near segment
 +    * What causes the long latency
 +    * Benefit of TL-DRAM
 +      * TL-DRAM vs. DRAM cache (adding a small cache in DRAM)
 +  * List of commands to read/write data into DRAM
 +    * Activate -> read/write -> precharge
 +    * Activate moves data into the row buffer
 +    * Precharge prepare the bank for the next access
 +  * Row buffer hit
 +  * Row buffer conflict
 +  * Scheduling memory requests to lower row conflicts
 +  * Burst mode of DRAM
 +    * Prefetch 32-bits from an 8-bit interface if DRAM needs to read 32 bits
 +  * Address mapping
 +    * Row interleaved
 +    * Cache block interleaved
 +  * Memory controller
 +    * Sending DRAM commands
 +    * Periodically send commands to refresh DRAM cells
 +    * Ensure correctness and data integrity
 +    * Where to place the memory controller
 +      * On CPU chip vs. at the main memory
 +        * Higher BW on-chip
 +    * Determine the order of requests that will be serviced in DRAM
 +      * Request queues that hold requests
 +      * Send requests whenever the request can be sent to the bank
 +      * Determine which command (across banks) should be sent to DRAM
 +  * Priority of demand vs. prefetch requests
 +  * Memory scheduling policies
 +    * FCFS
 +    * FR-FCFS
 +      * Try to maximize row buffer hit rate
 +      * Capped FR-FCFS: FR-FCFS with a timeout
 +      * Usually this is done in a command level (read/write commands and precharge/​activate commands)
 +    * PAR-BS
 +      * Key benefits
 +      * stall time
 +      * shortest job first
 +    * STFM
 +    * ATLAS
 +    * TCM
 +      * Key benefits
 +      * Configurability
 +      * Fairness + performance at the same time
 +      * Robuestness isuees
 +  * Open row policy
 +  * Closed row policy
 +  * QoS
 +    * QoS issues in memory scheduling
 +    * Fairness
 +    * Performance guarantee
