Abstract

A high-capacity cache memory is implemented by multiple heterogenous DRAM dies, including a dedicated tag-storage DRAM die architected for low-latency tag-address retrieval and thus rapid hit/miss determination, and one or more capacity-optimized cache-line DRAM dies that render a net cache-line storage capacity orders of magnitude beyond that of state-of-the art SRAM cache implementations. The tag-storage die serves double-duty in some implementations, yielding rapid tag hit/miss determination for cache-line read/write requests while also serving as a high-capacity snoop-filter in a memory-sharing multiprocessor environment.
