NVMain 2.0: A User-Friendly Memory Simulator to Model (Non-)Volatile Memory S…

Abstract—In this letter, a flexible memory simulator - NVMain 2.0, is introduced to help the community for modeling not only commodity DRAMs but also emerging memory technologies, such as die-stacked DRAM caches, non-volatile memories (e.g., STT-RAM, PCRAM, and ReRAM) including multi-level cells (MLC), and hybrid non-volatile plus DRAM memory systems. Compared to existing memory simulators, N…
