EXPLORE

Start with the observable.

Use this page when the simulation is the primary artifact. The linked lesson explains the concept; the linked lab keeps the visual replay surface available.

guided exploration
  • Pick the workload first, then compare memory technologies.
  • Separate latency, bandwidth, capacity, endurance, and energy movement instead of asking for one best memory.
  • Use the placement score as a discussion scaffold, not a product benchmark.

RUN CARD

Conditions before conclusions.

This page replays saved memory-placement data and does not run traces, simulators, or vendor benchmarks.

METHODS

How the number was made.

Methods are written for citation discipline: the extraction rule matters as much as the plotted value.

method

Each technology receives normalized latency, bandwidth, capacity, and endurance scores.

Keep this method attached when reusing the figure or metric.

method

Each workload applies different weights to those scores.

Keep this method attached when reusing the figure or metric.

method

Placement score is a weighted teaching index used to choose the next evidence question.

Keep this method attached when reusing the figure or metric.

LIMITS

What this page does not claim.

The MVP is useful because the limits are visible. These statements prevent a teaching simulation from being cited as silicon evidence.

non-claim

No cost model, product spec, procurement guidance, workload trace, or benchmark result is included.

Carry this boundary into any derivative note, paper draft, or slide.

non-claim

No claim is made that one technology is universally superior.

Carry this boundary into any derivative note, paper draft, or slide.

non-claim

Real architecture work needs measured workload locality, latency, bandwidth, energy, capacity, and software stack evidence.

Carry this boundary into any derivative note, paper draft, or slide.

EVIDENCE

Trace the claim back to artifacts.

The evidence route remains the catalog-level browser; this page is the simulation-level reading card.

evidence note

v64 deep results store every technology/workload score row.

evidence note

The result helps decide whether the next study should be SRAM, DRAM/HBM, SCM, NAND, MRAM, or CIM.
