      Implicit-storing and redundant-encoding-of-attribute information in error-correction-codes 

      Sazeides, Yiannakis; Özer, E.; Kershaw, D.; Nikolaou, Panagiota; Kleanthous, Marios M.; Abella, J. (2013)
      This paper proposes implicit-storing to extend the logical capacity of a memory array without increasing its physical capacity by leveraging the array's error-correction-codes to infer the implicitly stored bits. ...

      Memory array protection: Check on read or check on write? 

      Nikolaou, Panagiota; Sazeides, Yiannakis; Ndreu, L.; Özer, E.; Idgunji, S. (2013)
      This work introduces Check-on-Write: a memory array error protection approach that enables a trade-off between a memory array's fault-coverage and energy. The presented approach checks for error in a value stored in an ...

      Modeling the implications of DRAM failures and protection techniques on datacenter TCO 

      Nikolaou, Panagiota; Sazeides, Yiannakis; Ndreu, L.; Kleanthous, Marios M. (IEEE Computer Society, 2015)
      Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) is a key optimization metric for the design of a datacenter. This paper proposes, for the first time, a framework for modeling the implications of DRAM failures and DRAM error protection ...

      Toward multi-layer holistic evaluation of system designs 

      Kleanthous, Marios M.; Sazeides, Yiannakis; Ozer, E.; Nicopoulos, Chrysostomos A.; Nikolaou, Panagiota; Hadjilambrou, Zacharias (2016)
      The common practice for quantifying the benefit(s) of design-time architectural choices of server processors is often limited to the chip- or server-level. This quantification process invariably entails the use of salient ...
