Abstract
The RAMpage memory hierarchy is an alternative memory organization which addresses the growing CPU-DRAM speed gap, by replacing the lowest-level cache by an SRAM main memory. This paper presents some modifications to the RAMpage hierarchy. More aggressive first level cache implementations are shown to improve performance of the RAMpage model, when context switches were taken on misses to DRAM.
