Abstract

In this paper, we describe a part of our on-going research project aimed at the management of many core and Hybrid Main Memory with DRAM and Non-Volatile RAMs (NVRAMs).By the needs of simulation and through investigation of the requirements for the target management system, we found that the simulation platform requires support for many core, a timing-aware simulation of hybrid memory with DRAM and NVRAM, and a Performance Monitoring Unit (PMU).Therefore, we built MN-GEMS, a full-system simulator for the consolidated VMs of a cloud node satisfying all these requirements.
