AB - As process technology scales down, the number of cores integrated into a processor increases dramatically, leading to significant performance improvement. Especially, the GPU(Graphics Processing Unit) containing many cores can provide high computational performance by maximizing the parallelism. In the GPU architecture, the access latency to the main memory becomes one of the major reasons restricting the performance improvement. In this work, we analyze the performance improvement of the 3D GPU architecture compared to the 2D GPU architecture quantitatively and investigate the potential problems of the 3D GPU architecture. In general, memory instructions account for 30% of total instructions, and global/local memory instructions constitutes 60% of total memory instructions. Therefore, the performance of the 3D GPU is expected to be improved significantly compared to the 2D GPU by reducing the delay of memory instructions. However, according to our experimental results, the 3D architecture improves the GPU performance only by 2% compared to the 2D architecture due to the memory bottleneck, since the performance reduction due to memory bottleneck in the 3D GPU architecture increases by 245% compared to the 2D architecture. This paper provides the guideline for suitable memory design by analyzing the efficiency of the memory architecture in 3D GPU architecture.
