Abstract :
Improved system performance and lower cost can be achieved in small systems by combining all required memory functions into a single bank (or device) of "unified" memory. For example, the L2 cache, frame buffer, and main memory can be combined. The CDRAM has been designed to provide the performance level of large systems in a small and low cost form factor. Thus it is a very attractive option for unified memory architectures.<>
