Buzzwords are terms that are mentioned during lecture which are particularly important to understand thoroughly. This page tracks the buzzwords for each of the lectures and can be used as a reference for finding gaps in your understanding of course material.
* 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)
