DRAM Bender is an experimental FPGA-based memory controller design that can be used to develop tests for DDR4 [SO/R/U]DIMMs. DRAM Bender currently supports the *Bittware XUSP3S, XUPP3R, XUPVVH and Xilinx Alveo U200* boards.

DRAM Bender is the next version of the [SoftMC memory testing infrastructure](https://github.com/CMU-SAFARI/SoftMC). DRAM Bender introduces general purpose registers and a brand new DRAM Bender ISA to provide a programmable memory controller.
We provide a) prebuilt binaries for quick installation and b) the source code (both in Verilog and C++) that you can modify as you wish.

## Prior Works that Use DRAM Bender
We provide the sources to reproduce the results of two prior work: U-TRR ([PDF](https://people.inf.ethz.ch/omutlu/pub/U-TRR-uncovering-RowHammer-protection-mechanisms_micro21.pdf)) and QUAC-TRNG ([PDF](https://people.inf.ethz.ch/omutlu/pub/QUAC-TRNG-DRAM_isca21.pdf)).

* XUPP3R: We provide three bitstreams for: (1) single rank x4 RDIMMs, (2) dual rank x8 RDIMMs, (3) single rank x8 UDIMMs.

We provide a script (```prebuild/programFPGA.sh```) that programs the FPGA according to user-specified board, DIMM slot, DIMM type, the number of ranks and the DQ width. Run the script as ```./programFPGA.sh ```
