Outline of Final Research Achievements

It is known that PCM (Phase Change Memory) is worn out quickly compared to DRAM. To extend the lifetime of the PCM cell, we proposed a slow-write approach. We implemented a conventional method (performance-first and lifetime-first) and the proposed approach on the developed software simulator and evaluated with multiple programs quantitatively. As a result, it is clear that the proposed method can achieve 1.57 times the lifetime while suppressing the performance degradation to about 1.14%. These results offer that based on the feature of memory access and selecting the multiple write policy for PCM, job allocation according to the conditions such as performance and extend the lifetime can be performed on the data center scale.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

ポストシリコン時代に向けて,計算機の主記憶としてPCMの開発および導入の検討が進められており,PCMを搭載するサーバの運用は現実のものとなりつつある.本研究はPCMに対する多様な書き込み技術を提案するものである.研究の成果は実行するプログラムに求められる性能,データセンターのサーバにおいて必要とされるPCMの寿命に基づき,PCMの書き込み技術の適用とジョブのアロケーションを実現するための指針となり得る.ユーザにとっては性能が犠牲にならないことから利点があり,運用者にとってはサーバのPCMの寿命を適切に使い切ることができるというメリットがあり,意義ある研究である.
