Sequential Accesses
Conclusion: The bandwidth achieved for sequential accesses is mostly independent of the topology and is constant at about 13 GB/s.
Random Accesses
Conclusion: The bandwith is higher when accessing a single Pseudo Channel over 256 MB data (or less) compared to accessing multiple Pseudo Channels
Random Accesses with RAMA IP
Conclusion: The RAMA IP significantly improves memory access efficiency in cases where the required random memory access exceeds 256 MB (one HBM pseudo-channel).
