CoMPSoC Website Launched – compsoc.eu

Posted on by bennyakesson

The CoMPSoC project has launched an official website, www.compsoc.eu, with information about the research, references to key publications, and links to the websites of the individual websites of the researchers. I recommend having a look at this website, since it shows the system-level context, the bigger picture, of the memory controller research done by the memory team.

Update: The DATE demo is now posted on compsoc.eu for those that were unable to see it in Dresden.

Paper Accepted at DAC 2012

Posted on by bennyakesson

Today, we congratulate Karthik Chandrasekar on getting his paper “Run-Time Power-Down Strategies for Real-Time SDRAM Memory Controllers” accepted at Design Automation Conference (DAC) 2012, where it will be presented in early June. The paper proposes two run-time power down strategies for real-time SDRAM controllers that reduce power without sacrificing guaranteed bandwidth. One strategy is conservative and saves power without affecting latency, whereas the second is more aggressive and saves additional power at a slightly increased latency. The paper also presents an algorithm to select the most energy-efficient power-down mode at run-time.
