Methodology for Cycle-Accurate DRAM Performance Analysis
Igor Ikodinovic · IEEE Transactions on Computers · 2014
A new methodology for DRAM performance analysis has been proposed based on accurate characterization of DRAM bus cycles. The proposed methodology allows cycle-accurate performance analysis of arbitrary DRAM traces, obviates the need for functional simulations, allows accurate estimation of DRAM performance maximum, and enables root causing of suboptimal DRAM operation.
