Reducing Avoidable Memory Trips In HBM Systems

As AI and high-performance SoCs increasingly rely on HBM, memory bandwidth alone is no longer enough to maximize performance. This article discusses why the intelligent data movement and cache efficiency are critical to unlocking the full benefits of HBM-based architectures.

Making Strong Error-Correcting Codes Work Effectively for HBM in AI Inference

LLM inference is increasingly memory-bound, and HBM cost per GB now dominates system cost. Today’s HBM stacks include short on-die ECC, which tightens binning, raises price, and locks reliability policy inside the device. This paper asks a simple question: can we tolerate a much higher raw HBM bit error rate (BER) and still keep end-to-end correctness and throughput, without changing the HBM PHY or the fixed 32B transaction size?

High Bandwidth Memory Evolution from First Generation HBM to the Latest HBM4

HBM4 is the latest generation of the High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) that has become analogous to the Artificial Intelligence (AI) boom that is everywhere in today’s world. HBM is also increasingly being used in other applications like Data centers, autonomous driving systems, servers, cloud computing just to mention few domains where bandwidth and performance in a key requirement.

Breaking the HBM Bit Cost Barrier: Domain-Specific ECC for AI Inference Infrastructure

High-Bandwidth Memory (HBM) delivers exceptional bandwidth and energy efficiency for AI workloads, but its high cost per bit, driven in part by stringent on-die reliability requirements, poses a growing barrier to scalable deployment. This work explores a systemlevel approach to cost reduction by eliminating on-die ECC and shifting all fault management to the memory controller.
