Companies begin to develop prototype systems
that optimize memory performance
Rambus Inc. (NASDAQ:RMBS) today announced an expanded
collaboration with Microsoft researchers to develop prototype
systems that optimize memory performance in cryogenic temperatures.
Following the initial collaboration announced in December 2015,
this new agreement extends joint efforts to enhance memory
capabilities, reduce energy consumption and improve overall system
performance.
The technologies being developed by the companies will improve
energy efficiency for DRAM and logic operation at cryogenic
temperatures, defined by the U.S. National Institute of Standards
and Technology as below −180 °C or −292.00 °F or
93.15 K and ideal for high-performance super computers and
quantum computers. Additionally, it will enable high-speed SerDes
links to operate efficiently in cryogenic and superconducting
domains and allow new memory systems to function at these
temperatures.
“With the increasing challenges in conventional approaches to
improving memory capacity and power efficiency, our early research
indicates that a significant change in the operating temperature of
DRAM using cryogenic techniques may become essential in future
memory systems,” said Dr. Gary Bronner, vice president of Rambus
Labs. “Our strategic partnership with Microsoft has enabled us to
identify new architectural models as we strive to develop systems
utilizing cryogenic memory. The expansion of this collaboration
will lead to new applications in high-performance super computers
(HPC) and quantum computers.”
“We’re excited to continue working with Rambus and broaden our
partnership to further develop technologies for memory optimization
in cryogenic temperatures,” said Doug Carmean, partner architect
within Microsoft’s research organization. “Rambus’ expertise in
memory systems has helped us identify new memory architectures to
meet our future requirements.”
Rambus has a long history of researching and exploring emerging
platforms, consistently developing meaningful technologies with
broad applicability.
