摘要

Enabling subarrays reduces memory latency by allowing concurrent accesses to different subarrays within the same bank in the DRAM system. However, this technology has great challenges in the PCM system since an on-going write cannot overlap with other accesses due to large electric current draw for writes. This paper proposes two new mechanisms (PASAK and WAVAK) that leverage subarray-level parallelism to enable a bank to serve a write and multiple reads in parallel without violating power constraints. PASAK exploits the electric current difference between writing a bit 0 and a bit 1, and provides a new power allocation strategy that better utilizes the power budget to mitigate the performance degradation due to bank conflicts. WAVAK adds a simple coding method that inverts all bits to be written if there are more zeros than ones, with a goal to reduce electric current for writes and create larger power surplus to serve more reads if there is no subarray conflict. Experimental results under 4-cores SPEC CPU 2006 workloads show that our proposed mechanisms can reduce memory latency by 68.7% and running time by 34.8% on average, comparing with the standard PCM system. In addition, our mechanisms outperform Flip-N-Write 14.6% in latency and 8.5% in running time on average.
