This session presents three papers targeting energy efficiency in memory architectures. The first paper presents a new hybrid DRAM/MRAM approach, the second paper describes a sensitivity analysis to simulate SRAMs dynamic write-ability under process variations and the third one reports how domain wall memories can be used for design on-chip cache hierarchies.
