Due to the recent growth in the number of on-chip cores available in today's multi-core processors, there is an increased demand for memory bandwidth and capacity. However, off-chip DRAM is not scaling at the rate necessary for the growth in number of on-chip cores. Stacked DRAM last-level caches have been proposed to alleviate these bandwidth constraints, however, many of these ideas are not practical for real systems, or may not take advantage of the features available in today's stacked DRAM variants.
In this paper, we design a last-level, stacked DRAM cache that is practical for real-world systems and takes advantage of High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) [1]. Our HBM cache only requires one minor change to existing memory controllers to support communication. It uses HBM's built-in logic die to handle tag storage and lookups. We also introduce novel tag/data storage that enables faster lookups, associativity, and more capacity than previous designs.
