This book equips readers with tools for computer architecture of high performance, low power, and high reliability memory hierarchy in computer systems based on emerging memory technologies, such as STTRAM, PCM, FBDRAM, etc. The techniques described offer advantages of high density, near-zero static power, and immunity to soft errors, which have the potential of overcoming the "memory wall." The authors discuss memory design from various perspectives: emerging memory technologies are employed in the memory hierarchy with novel architecture modification; hybrid memory structure is introduced...

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 12th International Symposium on Advanced Parallel Processing Technologies, APPT 2017, held in Santiago de Compostela, Spain, in August 2017.The 11 regular papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 18 submissions.
