Abstract

Main memory is acritical component of all computer systems. Memory system must scale in size, cost and performance to maintain overall computer performance growth, but there are a lot of challenges that memory systems have encountered and throughout recent years some (potentially temporary) limitations for memory systems were reached out. This paper will discuss recent challenges in main memory systems and solutions that can be proposed to address those challenges. Problems to be discussed in the paper: memory capacity, energy consumption, periodic refresh, scaling, memory interference, “Rowhammer”.
