Abstract:
This document presents a high level description of an architecture for a massive memory machine (a computer with several gigabytes of main memory). The architecture provides a logical extension of the standard three level (cache, main memory, disk) memory hierarchy to a four level scheme (massive register set, cache, main memory, disk). The design combines: the compiler optimized data motion of registers; the temporal locality advantages of caching; and the high throughput benefits of interleaving into a design which suggests a very natural physical implementation using present day packaging technologies.
