Title :
A case for studying DRAM issues at the system level

Abstract :
The widening gap between today´s processor and memory speeds makes DRAM subsystem design an increasingly important part of computer system design. If the DRAM research community would follow the microprocessor community´s lead by leaning more heavily on architecture- and system-level solutions in addition to technology-level solutions to achieve higher performance, the gap might begin to close.
