GEMTOO is the first modeling tool that estimates timing, memory availability, bandwidth, and area of gain-cell embedded DRAMs (GC-eDRAMs) [1].
- The tool is based on input parameters related to technology, circuits, and memory architecture of GC-eDRAMs to enable a rapid design space exploration.
- The physical floorplan of the GC-eDRAM is considered in the estimation of memory metrics, thereby accounting for the impact of the memory architecture and the load given by the interconnects.
- An accurate timing estimation is provided by modeling the effect of the deterioration of the stored data in the bitcell.
- The tool is implemented in a modular structure to allow for the selection or the introduction of different modeling strategies.
