+ | * Different ways to control interference in DRAM | ||
+ | * Partitioning of resource | ||
+ | * Channel partitioning: map applications that interfere with each other in a different channel | ||
+ | * Keep track of application's characteristics | ||
+ | * Dedicate a channel might waste the bandwidth | ||
+ | * Need OS support to determine the channel bits | ||
+ | * Source throttling | ||
+ | * A controller throttle the core depends on the performance target | ||
+ | * Example: Fairness via source throttling | ||
+ | * Detect unfairness and throttle application that is interfering | ||
+ | * How do you estimate slowdown? | ||
+ | * Threshold based solution: hard to configure | ||
+ | * App/thread scheduling | ||
+ | * Critical threads usually stall the progress | ||
+ | * Designing DRAM controller | ||
+ | * Has to handle the normal DRAM operations | ||
+ | * Read/write/refresh/all the timing constraints | ||
+ | * Keep track of resources | ||
+ | * Assign priorities to different requests | ||
+ | * Manage requests to banks | ||
+ | * Self-optimizing controller | ||
+ | * Use machine learning to improve DRAM controller | ||
+ | * A-DRM | ||
+ | * Architecture aware DRAM | ||
+ | * Multithread | ||
+ | * synchronization | ||
+ | * Pipeline programs | ||
+ | * Producer consumer model | ||
+ | * Critical path | ||
+ | * Limiter threads | ||
+ | * Prioritization between threads | ||
+ | * Different power mode in DRAM | ||
+ | * DRAM Refresh | ||
+ | * Why does DRAM has to refresh every 64ms | ||
+ | * Banks are unavailable during refresh | ||
+ | * LPDDR mitigate this by using a per-bank refresh | ||
+ | * Has to spend longer time with bigger DRAM | ||
+ | * Distributed refresh: stagger refresh every 64 ms in a distributed manner | ||
+ | * As oppose to burst refresh (long pause time) | ||
+ | * RAIDR: Reduce DRAM refresh by profiling and binning | ||
+ | * Some row do not have to be refresh very frequently | ||
+ | * Profile the row | ||
+ | * High temperature changes the retention time: need online profiling | ||
+ | * Bloom filter | ||
+ | * Represent set membership | ||
+ | * Approximated | ||
+ | * Can contain false positive | ||
+ | * Better/more hash function helps eliminate this | ||
