Their award-winning paper is entitled \u201cA Scalable Design Methodology for Energy Minimization of STTRAM: A Circuit and Architecture Perspective,\u201d and the work presented in this paper was supported by the National Science Foundation and Intel Corporation.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ESpin-Torque-Transfer RAM (STTRAM) is an emerging non-volatile memory technology that can retain information with practically no energy loss; it has the potential to dramatically transform the energy landscape of future computing systems. However, to realize the energy-efficiency potential of STTRAM in designing energy-efficient processing architectures, the interactions between the unique device physics of STTRAM, processor architecture, and the applications must be understood. This paper presents a modeling and analysis framework that can be used to understand these interactions, particularly from an energy perspective. The framework uses this understanding to explore the circuit-architecture design space of this emerging memory technology for the design of energy-efficient memory hierarchies in modern processors.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThis paper has served as a timely bridge between the physics of Magnetic Tunneling Junction (MTJ) devices, circuit techniques for STTRAM cell design, and microarchitectural considerations for the use of STTRAM technology in caches. The energy analysis and observations from this paper have also made important contributions in understanding the potential role of STTRAM in computing.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E******************************************\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EPictured in the photos from left to right are ECE Professor Sudhakar Yalamanchili, Subho Chatterjee, Circuits and Systems Society (CAS) President-Elect Franco Maloberti, and Thanos Stouraitis who is the CAS Past President.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EECE Professors Sudhakar Yalamanchili and Saibal Mukhopadhyay and their recently graduated students, Subho Chatterjee and Mitchelle Rasquinha, received the 2014 IEEE Circuits and Systems Society Very Large Scale Integrated Systems Best Paper Award.\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"ECE Professors Sudhakar Yalamanchili and Saibal Mukhopadhyay and their recently graduated students, Subho Chatterjee and Mitchelle Rasquinha, received the 2014 IEEE Circuits and Systems Society Very Large Scale Integrated Systems Best Paper Award."}],"uid":"27241","created_gmt":"2014-07-23 16:48:18","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 03:16:48","author":"Jackie Nemeth","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","dateline":{"date":"2014-07-23T00:00:00-04:00","iso_date":"2014-07-23T00:00:00-04:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"310351":{"id":"310351","type":"image","title":"IEEE VLSI Systems Best Paper Award winners","body":null,"created":"1449244726","gmt_created":"2015-12-04 15:58:46","changed":"1475895020","gmt_changed":"2016-10-08 02:50:20","alt":"IEEE VLSI Systems Best Paper Award winners","file":{"fid":"199846","name":"2014_cas_awards_presentation_-_vlsi_best_paper_2.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/2014_cas_awards_presentation_-_vlsi_best_paper_2_0.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/www.tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/2014_cas_awards_presentation_-_vlsi_best_paper_2_0.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":2299249,"path_740":"http:\/\/www.tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/2014_cas_awards_presentation_-_vlsi_best_paper_2_0.jpg?itok=VlDPXbVo"}}},"media_ids":["310351"],"related_links":[{"url":"http:\/\/iscas2014.org\/","title":"2014 International Symposium on Circuits and Systems"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.ece.gatech.edu\/faculty-staff\/fac_profiles\/bio.php?id=156","title":"Saibal Mukhopadhyay"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.ece.gatech.edu\/faculty-staff\/fac_profiles\/bio.php?id=115","title":"Sudhakar Yalamanchili"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.gatech.edu\/","title":"Georgia Tech"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.ece.gatech.edu\/","title":"School of Electrical and Computer Engineering"}],"groups":[{"id":"1255","name":"School of Electrical and Computer Engineering"}],"categories":[{"id":"134","name":"Student and Faculty"},{"id":"153","name":"Computer Science\/Information Technology and Security"},{"id":"144","name":"Energy"},{"id":"145","name":"Engineering"},{"id":"154","name":"Environment"},{"id":"149","name":"Nanotechnology and Nanoscience"},{"id":"135","name":"Research"},{"id":"150","name":"Physics and Physical Sciences"}],"keywords":[{"id":"109","name":"Georgia Tech"},{"id":"166900","name":"Saibal Mukhopadhyay"},{"id":"166855","name":"School of Electrical and Computer Engineering"},{"id":"171332","name":"Sudhakar Yalamanchili"}],"core_research_areas":[{"id":"39431","name":"Data Engineering and Science"},{"id":"39451","name":"Electronics and Nanotechnology"},{"id":"39531","name":"Energy and Sustainable Infrastructure"}],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EJackie Nemeth\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ESchool of Electrical and Computer Engineering\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E404-894-2906\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:jackie.nemeth@ece.gatech.edu\u0022\u003Ejackie.nemeth@ece.gatech.edu\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"email":["jackie.nemeth@ece.gatech.edu"],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
