Abstract:

The DRAM performance has become a critical bottleneck of modern computing systems. Prior studies have proposed various optimization techniques on address mapping to bridge the gap between real performance and the peak performance. Nevertheless, these techniques have some common limitations. First, most of them focus on an indirect metric (e.g., bitwise flip ratio) and fail to address the effects of complicated organization hierarchy and timing constraints of DRAM. Second, these approaches do not leverage application-specific information and may not generate the proper address mapping schemes for modern applications. In this article, we propose Flatfish as a comprehensive solution to address these challenges. Flatfish is a self-adaptive memory controller that is able to generate address mapping schemes according to the memory access pattern. Different from prior approaches, Flatfish considers complicated memory hierarchy, including channel, rank, and bank group and addressed critical timing constraints. By mining the characteristics from the memory access traces, Flatfish integrates a reinforcement learning model to generate a binary invertible matrix (BIM) as the address mapping scheme. Flatfish can work in either offline mode or online mode to meet various requirements in different scenarios. The experimental results show that Flatfish can achieve 1.91x speedup in the offline mode on GPU, and 1.63x speedup in the online mode on CPU, over the commonly used Hynix address mapping scheme.
