Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) MTJ-based cache memory is expected to reduce processor power significantly. However, write energy increases rapidly for high speed operation and considered not suited for higher level cache memory. In this work, we have developed L2 and L3 cache memory based on thermal stability factor engineered pMTJ with 2T-2MTJ and 1T-1MTJ memory cell and novel error handling scheme. These techniques reduce 75% energy with 2% performance overhead compared to SRAM based L2 and L3 cache memory.
