The Dynamic Random Access Memory Challenge in Embedded Computing Systems
Matthias Jung, Christian Weis, Norbert Wehn · 2020
Current and emerging embedded applications require ever larger amount of data that have to be processed. Due to their large size, this data has to be stored off-chip in dynamic random access memories (DRAMs). The challenges introduced by DRAMs in those systems are manifold. These include limited bandwidth and latency, as well as power consumption and reduced reliability due to technology scaling. In this chapter we highlight the major challenges and possible solutions for the integration of DRAM subsystems into embedded computing systems.
