Dally 2022 Model: SRAM Access Energy Varies by Two Orders of Magnitude
jwt0625 · x · 2026-08-03
Discusses the phenomenon where communication dominates costs in computing systems. Based on Dally 2022's computational model analysis, the energy consumption for SRAM access varies by almost two orders of magnitude depending on its locality. If the access cost reaches a few pJ/bit, the overhead is practically equivalent to going off-chip.
