</p><p><b>Multi-Channel DRAM</b> or <b>MCDRAM</b> (pronounced <i>em cee dee ram</i><sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>) is a <a href="Three-dimensional_integrated_circuit" title="Three-dimensional integrated circuit">3D-stacked</a> <a href="Dynamic_random-access_memory" title="Dynamic random-access memory">DRAM</a> that is used in the <a href="Intel" title="Intel">Intel</a> <a href="Xeon_Phi" title="Xeon Phi">Xeon Phi</a> processor codenamed <a href="Xeon_Phi#Knights_Landing" title="Xeon Phi">Knights Landing</a>. It is a version of <a href="Hybrid_Memory_Cube" title="Hybrid Memory Cube">Hybrid Memory Cube</a> developed in partnership with <a href="Micron_Technology" title="Micron Technology">Micron Technology</a>, and a competitor to <a href="High_Bandwidth_Memory" title="High Bandwidth Memory">High Bandwidth Memory</a>.
</p><p>The many cores in the Xeon Phi processors, along with their associated vector processing units, enable them to consume many more gigabytes per second than traditional DRAM DIMMs can supply. The "Multi-channel" part of the MCDRAM full name reflects the cores having many more channels available to access the MCDRAM than processors have to access their attached DIMMs.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
This high channel count leads to MCDRAM's high bandwidth, up to 400+ GB/s, although the latencies are similar to a DIMM access.
</p><p>Its physical placement on the processor imposes some limits on capacity – up to 16 GB at launch, although speculated to go higher in the future.
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Programming">Programming</h2></div>
<p>The memory can be partitioned at boot time, with some used as cache for more distant DDR, and the remainder mapped into the physical address space.
</p><p>The application can request pages of <a href="Virtual_memory" title="Virtual memory">virtual memory</a> to be assigned to either the distant DDR directly, to the portion of DDR that is cached by the MCDRAM, or to the portion of the MCDRAM that is not being used as cache. One way to do this is via the<code>memkind</code> API.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>When used as cache, the latency of a miss accessing both the MCDRAM and DDR is slightly higher than going directly to DDR, and so applications may need to be tuned<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
to avoid excessive cache misses.
