Energy Saving Techniques for Phase Change Memory (PCM)
In recent years, the energy consumption of computing systems has increased
and a large fraction of this energy is consumed in main memory. Towards this,
researchers have proposed use of non-volatile memory, such as phase change
memory (PCM), which has low read latency and power; and nearly zero leakage
power. However, the write latency and power of PCM are very high and this,
along with limited write endurance of PCM present significant challenges in
enabling wide-spread adoption of PCM. To address this, several
architecture-level techniques have been proposed. In this report, we review
several techniques to manage power consumption of PCM. We also classify these
techniques based on their characteristics to provide insights into them. The
aim of this work is encourage researchers to propose even better techniques for
improving energy efficiency of PCM based main memory.Comment: Survey, phase change RAM (PCRAM
Random Linear Network Coding for 5G Mobile Video Delivery
An exponential increase in mobile video delivery will continue with the
demand for higher resolution, multi-view and large-scale multicast video
services. Novel fifth generation (5G) 3GPP New Radio (NR) standard will bring a
number of new opportunities for optimizing video delivery across both 5G core
and radio access networks. One of the promising approaches for video quality
adaptation, throughput enhancement and erasure protection is the use of
packet-level random linear network coding (RLNC). In this review paper, we
discuss the integration of RLNC into the 5G NR standard, building upon the
ideas and opportunities identified in 4G LTE. We explicitly identify and
discuss in detail novel 5G NR features that provide support for RLNC-based
video delivery in 5G, thus pointing out to the promising avenues for future
research.Comment: Invited paper for Special Issue "Network and Rateless Coding for
