Over the past two decades, Dynamic Random-Access Memory (DRAM) has emerged as the dominant technology for implementing the main memory subsystems of all types of computing systems. However, inferring from several recent trends, computer architects in both the industry and academia have widely accepted that the density (memory capacity per chip area) and latency of DRAM based main memory subsystems cannot sufficiently scale in the future to meet the requirements of future data-centric workloads related to Artificial Intelligence (AI), Big Data, and Internet-of-Things (IoT). In fact, the achievable density and access latency in main memory subsystems presents a very fundamental …
