Abstract

Memory hierarchy is a critical component in high-performance computing (HPC) architectures, influencing the efficiency and speed of data processing. This paper explores various optimization strategies aimed at enhancing memory hierarchy performance. The memory hierarchy is structured to minimize access time and maximize throughput by organizing different types of memory based on speed, capacity, and cost. Key strategies include the implementation of advanced caching techniques, such as behavior-aware cache hierarchies that dynamically allocate resources based on runtime demands, and the use of partial breadthfirst search algorithms to optimize memory consumption during data processing tasks. Additionally, the integration of highbandwidth memory (HBM) and non-volatile memory technologies presents opportunities for further performance improvements. By analyzing the trade-offs between latency and bandwidth, this research provides insights into designing memory systems that effectively support the increasing computational demands of modern applications. The findings underscore the importance of optimizing memory architecture to achieve significant enhancements in overall system performance, particularly in data-intensive environments
