This paper was co-authored with his IBM colleagues, Viji Srinivasan\u0026nbsp;and\u0026nbsp;Jude Rivers.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThis paper was one of the very first architecture proposals to argue for increasing the memory capacity by using Phase Change Memory (PCM).\u0026nbsp;In particular, Qureshi and his co-authors argued that the practical adoption of PCM is viable as main memory only when PCM is combined with DRAM to form a hybrid memory system; DRAM can mitigate the latency and endurance issues of NVM by filtering out\u0026nbsp;majority\u0026nbsp;of the accesses. The hybrid design proposed in this paper almost a decade\u0026nbsp;ago\u0026nbsp;is now the default architecture used while designing NVM-based systems. For systems announced with Optane memory, the NVM does not replace DRAM, but rather resides beside a DRAM cache or DRAM memory. Credited with creating a sub-field in the architecture community on the topic of NVM, this paper has received more than 1,200 citations since publication.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe award selection noted that \u0026ldquo;the award is given in recognition of the paper\u0026#39;s contribution to hybrid memory systems that combine phase change memory and DRAM. It was one of the very first papers to propose such a system and describe how careful design can overcome the limitations of both technologies to build scalable, fast, reliable memory systems. It is especially exciting to see how the paper anticipated and influenced the structure of many subsequent proposals for hybrid memory systems.\u0026rdquo;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EECE Professor\u0026nbsp;Moinuddin Qureshi will receive the Persistent Impact Prize at the 10\u003Csup\u003Eth\u003C\/sup\u003EAnnual Non-Volatile Memory Workshop (NVMW), to be held March 2019 in San Diego, California.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"ECE Professor\u00a0Moinuddin Qureshi will receive the Persistent Impact Prize at the 10thAnnual Non-Volatile Memory Workshop (NVMW), to be held March 2019 in San Diego, California.\u00a0"}],"uid":"27241","created_gmt":"2019-02-04 21:23:49","changed_gmt":"2019-02-04 21:25:33","author":"Jackie Nemeth","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","dateline":{"date":"2019-02-04T00:00:00-05:00","iso_date":"2019-02-04T00:00:00-05:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"155101":{"id":"155101","type":"image","title":"Moin Qureshi","body":null,"created":"1449178859","gmt_created":"2015-12-03 21:40:59","changed":"1475894789","gmt_changed":"2016-10-08 02:46:29","alt":"Moin Qureshi","file":{"fid":"195264","name":"qureshi.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/qureshi_0.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/qureshi_0.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":47044,"path_740":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/qureshi_0.jpg?itok=F3xwQNN_"}}},"media_ids":["155101"],"related_links":[{"url":"https:\/\/www.ece.gatech.edu\/faculty-staff-directory\/moinuddin-k-qureshi","title":"Moinuddin Qureshi"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.ece.gatech.edu","title":"School of Electrical and Computer Engineering"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.gatech.edu","title":"Georgia Tech"},{"url":"http:\/\/nvmw.ucsd.edu","title":"10th Annual Non-Volatile Memory Workshop "},{"url":"https:\/\/dl.acm.org\/citation.cfm?id=1555754\u0026picked=prox","title":"Proceedings of the 36th Annual International Symposium on Computer Architecture"}],"groups":[{"id":"1255","name":"School of Electrical and Computer Engineering"}],"categories":[{"id":"134","name":"Student and Faculty"},{"id":"135","name":"Research"},{"id":"153","name":"Computer Science\/Information Technology and Security"},{"id":"145","name":"Engineering"},{"id":"150","name":"Physics and Physical Sciences"}],"keywords":[{"id":"171788","name":"Moinuddin Qureshi"},{"id":"276","name":"Awards"},{"id":"1506","name":"faculty"},{"id":"109","name":"Georgia Tech"},{"id":"166855","name":"School of Electrical and Computer Engineering"},{"id":"180383","name":"Non-Volatile Memory Workshop"},{"id":"180384","name":"Non-Volatile Memory Workshop Persistent Impact Prize"},{"id":"180385","name":"memory systems"},{"id":"180386","name":"phase change technology"},{"id":"180387","name":"non-volatile memories"},{"id":"180388","name":"International Symposium on Computer Architecture"},{"id":"180389","name":"phase change memory"},{"id":"180390","name":"DRAM cache"},{"id":"180391","name":"DRAM memory"},{"id":"180392","name":"hybrid memory systems"}],"core_research_areas":[{"id":"39431","name":"Data Engineering and Science"},{"id":"39451","name":"Electronics and Nanotechnology"}],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EJackie Nemeth\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ESchool of Electrical and Computer Engineering\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E404-894-2906\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","format":"limited_html"}],"email":["jackie.nemeth@ece.gatech.edu"],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
