MeAOW 2012
Memory Architecture and Organization Workshop 2012
October 11, 2012
Held during ESWeek 2012 in Tampere, Finland
Workshop Background and Goals
Memory technologies are evolving rapidly, resulting in many new storage opportunities that demand novel memory architectures, organizations and management strategies to effectively leverage their unique features. Newer memories, such as Phase Changing Memory (PCM), STT-RAM, Memristor, embedded-RAM, etc., have their unique advantages as well as disadvantages. Often they exhibit read and write asymmetry, where a write operation may incur a large latency and consume significantly more energy than a read operation. The wear-out characteristics, density, ambient operational conditions and other parameters may require novel memory organizations and software/hardware management support to leverage the benefits of these new memory technologies. Thus there is an urgent need to model, analyze, design and evaluate novel memory management techniques at varying abstraction levels for these novel memories. MeAOW aims to bring together researchers for discussion and advancement of novel memory architectures, organizations and management.
List of Topics for MeAOW 2012:
- Novel memory architecture and design
- Energy efficient memory architecture and management
- Non-volatile Memory(NVM) / Storage Class Memory(SLM) architecture and management
- Flash Memory management
- Operating System and Embedded software support for Memory Management
- Compilation techniques for non-volatile memory
- Hardware-Software Codesign for novel memory architectures
Workshop Format
MEAOW is designed to be an interactive workshop at ESWeek covering these novel memory topics: the event is designed to foster interaction and presentation of early results, new ideas and speculative directions. Thus workshop will combine a number of invited talks from researchers in academia, technologists from industry, case studies on the use of novel memories, as well as talks selected from submission to the workshop. Participating authors are invited to submit contributions of no more than 6 pages that will be included in an informal workshop digest distributed to all attendees registered for MeAOW 2012. The workshop organizers will also consider invited selecting papers for a special issue of an ACM or IEEE journal.
