By combining the speed of SRAM, the density of DRAM, and the non-volatility of FLASH memory, emerging NVM technologies have a great potential to be the universal memories of the future. Most of the existing research on NVM architecture research focus on the performance/power/density benefits and how to overcome challenges such as write overhead and wearout issues. The nonvolatile characteristics of such emerging memory technologies are not fully explored in prior study. In this talk, we propose to focus on how to exploit the nonvolatile features that distinguish the emerging memory technologies from traditional SRAM/DRAM technology, and investigate new memory architecture design with novel applications, such as checkpointing, persistent memory, and nonvolatile processor designs for energy harvesting applications.
