Editor's note:

From a system architecture perspective, 3D technology can satisfy the high memory bandwidth demands that future multicore/manycore architectures require. This article presents a 3D DRAM architecture design and the potential for using 3D DRAM stacking for both L2 cache and main memory in 3D multicore architecture.
