### Overview
DESTINY is an acronym for 3D dEsign-Space exploraTIon Tool for SRAM, eDRAM and Non-volatile memorY.
DESTINY is an acronym for 3D dEsign-Space exploraTIon tool for SRAM, eDRAM and Non-volatile memorY.
In its purpose, DESTINY is similar to CACTI, CACTI-3DD or NVSim.
DESTINY is a tool for modeling both 2D and 3D caches designed with five prominent memory technologies:
