Abstract:
The dual in-line memory module (DIMM) tree architecture was proposed to solve signal integrity and data access latency problems of many-DIMM system. Although the DIMM tree demands a memory controller specific to it, there has been little research on the memory controller for the DIMM tree. For this reason, this paper proposes a new memory controller architecture for the DIMM tree. This architecture was modeled using DRAMSim2 for its verification and analysis, and the experimental results show that the proposed DIMM tree memory controller works properly and efficiently.
