Abstract
The quest for the universal memory has attracted many talented researchers and number of investors for years now. The objective is to develop a low cost, high-speed, low power, and reliable non-volatile memory. In practice, the universal memory system is more like an optimized combination of execution and storage memories, each of them having its own characteristics. Typically, execution memories manage temporary data and must be fast, with no endurance limitations. Different types of RAM memories are used to build an optimized hierarchy, including different levels of cache. In addition to RAM memories, non-volatile memories such as ROM or NOR flash used for code storage can be considered as execution memories when in place execution of the code is possible.
