Overview of Memory Design for Next Generation Applications

Various emerging applications such as internet-of-things (IoTs), wearable devices, and neural networks has imposed various challenges on memory design. Conventional memories such as static random access memory (SRAM), dynamic random access memory (DRAM), and flash memory fail to meet many of the requirements in the above applications. Particularly, power is one of the topmost design metrics to be considered. This paper will briefly introduce the recent trend in memory design for various emerging applications.
