摘要: 针对物联网智能终端的低功耗需求,提出了一种基于内存控制器扩展的低功耗混合内存系统.使用动态随机存储器和相变存储器构成混合内存结构,通过在内存控制器中添加迁移控制模块对混合内存进行管理.设计了一种改进的双队列算法,筛选出相变存储器中写请求较多的内存页面,并通过地址映射模块和迁移控制模块将写请求较多的页面从相变存储器迁移到动态随机存储器中,规避相变存储器写操作的缺陷,从而实现对低功耗混合内存系统的性能优化.仿真结果表明,与动态随机存储器构成的内存系统相比,混合内存系统的功耗延时积平均降低了43.9%,在面向边缘计算的应用场景中具有一定的可行性.

Abstract: In order to satisfy the low power requirements of IoT devices, a low power hybrid main memory system composed of dynamic random access memory and phase change memory is proposed. The hybrid main memory is managed by the hybrid memory control modules which are added to the memory controller. An improved dual queue algorithm is proposed to filter out memory pages with more write requests from phase change memory. Because of the poor write performance of phase change memory, the page migration module migrates the selected pages from phase change memory to dynamic random access memory. And then the updated page address is recorded in the address mapping table for subsequent memory access. Experimental results show that compared with the traditional main memory composed entirely of dynamic random access memory, the hybrid main memory reduces the power-delay product by 43.9% on average.

Key words: edge computing, hybrid memory, memory controller, page migration
