This book explores the design implications of emerging non-volatile memory (NVM) technologies
on future computer memory hierarchy architecture designs. Since NVM technologies combine the
speed of SRAM the density of DRAM and the non-volatility of Flash memory they are very
attractive as the basis for future universal memories. This book provides a holistic
perspective on the topic covering modeling design architecture and applications. The
practical information included in this book will enable designers to exploit emerging memory
technologies to improve significantly the performance power reliability of future mainstream
integrated circuits.
