ISTORE and IRAM
ISTORE relies on intelligent devices
IRAM is an easy way to add intelligence to a device
- embedded, low-power CPU meets size and power constraints
- integrated DRAM reduces chip count
- fast network interface (serial lines) meets connectivity needs
Initial ISTORE prototype won’t use IRAM
- will use collection of commodity components that approximate IRAM functionality, not size/power
- but results will be applicable to IRAM-based systems
- success with ISTORE will encourage integration of IRAM-like processors into standard devices
