Exploiting Imprecise Non-volatile Memories for Soft Real-time Embedded Systems to Achieve Low Energy Consumption, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Ejlali, Alireza (Supervisor)
Abstract
Spin-Transfer-Torque-RAM (STT-RAM) has recently been widely accepted as a promising replacement for SRAM technology through the technology scaling due to its high density, zero standby power and comparable-to-SRAM read access latency. However, there are two major obstacles to use STT-RAM, namely, high write access latency and energy. In this study, we propose two approaches to solve these challenges in embedded systems. The conventional latency of the STT-RAM write operation is 10ns and lowering the write latency causes the required write current exponentially increase, leading to a larger memory cell area and a shorter memory lifetime. As the first proposed method, we have assessed the...
