摘要
A primary bottleneck in the performance of a processor is in its communication with memory. By allowing the placement of processor and memory in adjacent layers, 3D design provides significant relief, reducing the communication latency. This article studies the impact of 3D design by comparing the cycles per instruction of such a design with various alternatives. © 2005 IEEE.
