\textbf{Abstract}
|
|
|
|
The performance of today's computing systems depends in particular on the memory system used.
|
|
With the increasing use of DRAMs, also in mobile and embedded systems, it is important to select a configuration that fits the application.
|
|
However, since this is a complex task within the system design, simulations of the system are essential to evaluate the components and configuration parameters used.
|
|
Such a simulation can be accomplished with the DRAM simulation environment DRAMSys.
|
|
However, this requires realistic stimuli for the memory system, which can be created by the time-consuming simulation of processor cores.
|
|
A faster method, which creates such access patterns by analyzing applications on real hardware, is developed in this thesis.

\textbf{Zusammenfassung}
|
|
|
|
Die Leistung heutiger Rechensysteme hängt insbesondere von dem eingesetzem Speichersystem ab.
|
|
Mit der zunehmenden Verbreitung von DRAMs, auch in mobilen und eingebetteten Systemen, ist es wichtig eine auf den Anwendungsfall passende Konfiguration dieser zu wählen.
|
|
Da dies jedoch eine komplexe Aufgabenstellung innerhalb des Systemdesigns ist, sind Simulationen des Systems zur Bewertung der eingesetzten Komponenten und Konfigurationsparameter unabdingbar.
|
|
Solch eine Simulation kann mit der DRAM Simulationsumgebung DRAMSys vollzogen werden.
|
|
Hierfür sind allerdings realitätsnahe Stimuli für das Speichersystem vonnöten, welche durch die zeitaufwändige Simulation von Prozessorkernen erstellt werden können.
|
|
Eine schnellere Methode, welche solche Zugriffsmuster durch Analyse von Applikationen auf echter Hardware erstellt, wird in dieser Arbeit entwickelt.
