whitepaper Memory Sizing Guidance for Windows 72009-07-14 Microsoft
  This paper describes an approach that Information Technology (IT) professionals and system builders can use to determine how much memory is required to successfully run a set of programs. It explores how the choices in machine architecture, hardware devices, driver version, and memory configuration affect the amount of memory that is available to users' programs. By following the guidelines in this paper, one can determine the appropriate amount of memory to configure for anticipated customer workloads. This information applies to the Windows 7 operating system.

whitepaper Firmware Corruption of Memory During Sleep Transitions2009-06-15 Microsoft
  This paper provides information for system manufacturers and firmware developers about firmware corruption of memory during sleep transitions. During Windows 7 development, multiple Windows-based platforms have encountered memory corruption in the lowest 1 MB of physical memory after resuming from sleep. This paper describes the potential root causes of the memory corruption, diagnostic events in Windows 7 that can identify the corruption, and steps to resolve the problem on affected platforms.

whitepaper Articulating the Value Proposition of HPMQ - Why Buy HP Memory?2009-02-01 Hewlett-Packard (HP)
  In order to bring HP memory products to market, they must be tested and conform to very stringent requirements in the HPMQ process to ensure they are reliable, meet customer requirements, and satisfy all of HP quality standards and measurements. The memory qualification process assures the customer that continuous improvements occur in the current and future products and processes. These continuous improvement actions benefit the Memory supplier, HP, and more importantly, HP customers. HP also uses an internal certification process called HPMQ. This paper is intended to provide a detailed description of the quality processes and methods that HP memory products are qualified under, to comply with the HP Memory Qualification (HPMQ) standards prior to the approval process.

whitepaper The Price of Safety: Evaluating IOMMU Performance2007-06-30 IBM
  IOMMUs, IO Memory Management Units, are hardware devices that translate device DMA addresses to machine addresses. An isolation capable IOMMU restricts a device so that it can only access parts of memory it has been explicitly granted access to. Isolation capable IOMMUs perform a valuable system service by preventing rogue devices from performing errant or malicious DMAs, thereby substantially increasing the system's reliability and availability. Without an IOMMU a peripheral device could be programmed to overwrite any part of the system's memory. Operating systems utilize IOMMUs to isolate device drivers; hypervisors utilize IOMMUs to grant secure direct hardware access to virtual machines.   
whitepaper Understanding the Effects of Wrong-Path Memory References on Processor Performance0000-00-00 University of Texas
  High-performance out-of-order processors spend a significant portion of their execution time on the incorrect program path even though they employ aggressive branch pre-diction algorithms. Although memory references generated on the wrong path do not change the architectural state of the processor, they can affect the arrangement of data in the memory hierarchy. This paper examines the effects of wrong-path memory references on processor performance. It is shown that these references significantly affect the IPC (Instructions Per Cycle) performance of a processor.

whitepaper Efficient Runahead Execution: Power-Efficient Memory Latency Tolerance0000-00-00 University of Texas
  Runahead execution improves memory latency tolerance without significantly increasing processor complexity. Unfortunately, a runahead execution processor executes significantly more instructions than a conventional processor, sometimes without providing any performance benefit, which makes it inefficient. This paper identifies the causes of inefficiency in runahead execution and proposes simple -yet effective-techniques to make a runahead processor more efficient, thereby reducing its energy consumption. The proposed efficiency techniques reduce the extra instructions executed in a runahead processor from 26.5% to 6.2% without significantly affecting the 22%performance improvement provided by runahead execution.
