  • Abstract
    For the original article see ibid., vol.26, no.4, pp.657-61 (Apr. 1991). In the above-titled paper by D.D. Lee and R.H. Katz, a method for eliminating the need for refreshing for DRAM on-chip caches is presented as a new approach. It is pointed out that the commenters in fact introduced this method in a previous paper (Comput. Arch. News, vol.16, no.4, pp. 45-50, Sept. 1988)
