| Abstract | The majority of modern microprocessors are architected to utilize multi-level data caches as a primary optimization to reduce the latency and increase the perceived bandwidth from an application. The spatial and temporal locality provided by data caches work well in conjunction with applications that access memory in a linear fashion. However, applications that exhibit random or non-deterministic memory access patterns often induce a significant number of data cache misses, thus reducing the natural performance benefit from the data cache. In response to the performance penalties inherently present with non-deterministic applications, we have constructed a unique memory hierarchy within the GoblinCore-64 (GC64) architecture explicitly designed to exploit memory performance from irregular memory access patterns. The GC64 architecture combines a RISC-V-based core coupled with latency-hiding architectural features to a memory hierarchy with Hybrid Memory Cube (HMC) devices. In order to cope with the inherent non-determinism of applications and to exploit the packetized interface presented by the HMC device, we develop a methodology and associated implementation of a dynamic memory coalescing unit for the GC64 memory hierarchy that permits us to statistically sample memory requests from non-deterministic applications and coalesce them into the largest possible HMC payload requests. In this work, we present two parallel methodologies and associated implementations for coalescing non-deterministic memory requests into the largest potential HMC request by constructing a binary tree representation of the live memory requests from disparate cores. We present the coalesced HMC memory request results from applications that exhibit linear and non-linear memory request patterns compiled for a RISC-V core in contrast with a traditional memory hierarchy. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
