Abstract: International audience; Reducing energy consumption is a key challenge to the realization of the Internet of Things. While emerging memory technologies may offer power reduction, they come with major drawbacks such as high latency or limited endurance. As a result, system designers tend to juxtapose several memory technologies on the same chip. This paper studies the interactions between dynamic memory allocation and architectural choices regarding this heterogeneity. We provide cycle accurate simulations of embedded platforms with various memo...
