Nowadays, there is an increasingly recognized need for more computing power, which has led to multicore processors. However, this evolution is still restrained by the poor efficiency of memory chips. As a possible solution to the problem, this paper examines a model of re-distributing the memory resources assigned to the processor, especially the on-chip memory, in order to achieve higher performance. The proposed model uses the basic concepts of game theory applied to cellular automata lattices and the iterated spatial prisoner's dilemma game. A simulation was established in order to evaluate the performance of this model under different circumstances. Moreover, a corresponding FPGA logic circuit was designed as a part of an embedded, real-time co-circuit, aiming at memory resources fair distribution. The proposed FPGA implementation proved advantageous in terms of low-cost, high-speed, compactness and portability features. Finally, a significant improvement on the performance of the memory resources was ascertained from simulation results. |
