Memory Hierarchy and the Memory Wall

Computer programs mainly move data around. In the meantime, they do some computations on the data but the bulk of execution time and energy is spent moving data around. In computer jargon we say that applications tend to be memory bound: this means that memory is the main performance limiting … Read More
