NVMExplorer is a cross-stack design space exploration framework for evaluating and comparing on-chip memory solutions including emerging, embedded non-volatile memories. It was created by Lillian Pentecost and Alexander Hankin and began as a collaboration between Harvard University, Cambridge, MA, USA and Tufts University, Medford, MA, USA. It is currently in its beta version.
