/**
 * The DRAM controller is a basic single-channel memory controller
 * aiming to mimic a high-level DRAM controller and the most important
 * timing constraints associated with the DRAM. The focus is really on
 * modelling the impact on the system rather than the DRAM itself,
 * hence the focus is on the controller model and not on the
 * memory. By adhering to the correct timing constraints, ultimately
 * there is no need for a memory model in addition to the controller
 * model.
 *
 * As a basic design principle, this controller is not cycle callable,
 * but instead uses events to decide when new decisions can be made,
 * when resources become available, when things are to be considered
 * done, and when to send things back. Through these simple
 * principles, we achieve a performant model that is not
 * cycle-accurate, but enables us to evaluate the system impact of a
 * wide range of memory technologies, and also collect statistics
 * about the use of the memory.
