Abstract
In one embodiment, the present disclosure describes a method of optimizing memory access in a hierarchical memory system. The method includes determining a request rate from an ilayer of the hierarchical memory system for each of n layers in the hierarchical memory system. The method also includes determining a supply rate from an (i+1)layer of the hierarchical memory system for each of the n layers in the hierarchical memory system. The supply rate from the (i+1)layer of the hierarchical memory system corresponds to the request rate from the ilayer of the hierarchical memory system. The method further includes adjusting a set of computer architecture parameters of the hierarchical memory system or a schedule associated with an instruction set to utilize heterogeneous computing resources within the hierarchical memory system to match a performance of each adjacent layer of the hierarchical memory system.
