A comparative performance analysis of a DDR-SDRAM, a D-RDRAM, and a DDR-FCRAM using a POPeye simulator

We implemented POPeye (Probe of Performance+eye), a system analysis simulator to evaluate DRAM performance in a personal computer environment. When running any real-life application programs such as Microsoft Office and Paint Shop Pro on Windows OS, POPeye simulates detailed transactions between a CPU and a memory system. Using this tool, we comparatively analyzed the performance of a DDR-SDRAM, a D-RDRAM, and a DDR-FCRAM.
