摘要

The increasing amount of computation in heterogeneous architectures (including CPU and GPU cores) puts a big burden on memory subsystem. With the gap between compute units and the memory performance getting wider, designing a platform with a responsive memory system becomes more challenging. This issue is exacerbated when memory systems have to satisfy a high volume of traffic generated from heterogeneous compute units. Furthermore, as emerging memory technologies are being introduced to address these issues, a rapid and flexible mechanism is needed to evaluate these technologies in the context of heterogeneous architectures. This paper proposes HAMEX, a framework that enables early design space exploration of heterogeneous systems with a focus on resolving memory access bottlenecks. This framework first allows system designers to easily model heterogeneous architectures that can run both CPU and GPU workloads. Next, given a set of workloads partitioned on various compute units, traffic generated by these units are captured in order to explore different memory systems. We show the feasibility of design space exploration using HAMEX by simulating a contemporary commercial heterogeneous platform and explore the opportunities for power and performance improvements by adopting different memory technologies.
