Supercomputing Memory

3D XPoint technology is an entirely new class of nonvolatile memory that can help turn immense amounts of data into valuable information in real time.

Hello from ISC! The International Super Computing show is now in full swing here in Frankfurt, Germany. This is the first year ISC is being held in Frankfurt and my impression is very positive. Yesterday afternoon was the official opening of the show floor, which was followed by an opening reception in the evening.

As the hybrid memory cube architecture matures and the enabling ecosystem develops, it follows that the form factors incorporating HMC will proliferate—and they have, thanks to the development efforts of innovative organizations like Pico Computing.

Micron's Automata Processor (AP) is an accelerator that leverages the intrinsic parallelism of memory and aims to dramatically advance computing capabilities in areas such as bioinformatics, video/image analytics, and network security which pose challenges for conventional processor architectures because of the amount of complex, unstructured data.

One topic trending recently in the high-tech semiconductor industry has been the discussion around compute systems that mimic the functionality of the brain.

DDR4 SDRAM solutions are ideal for high-end enterprise and storage systems as well as cloud server providers that support applications requiring large memory footprints, such as in-memory databases and real-time analytics.

Micron’s 8Gb monolithic DDR3 SDRAM is an industry first—enabling more cost-effective scaling of high-density server modules, which lowers total cost of ownership (TCO) for data centers. Our 8Gb monolithic DDR3 SDRAM is ideal for high-end enterprise computing and storage systems, cloud servers, as well as networking applications and client computing systems.

Time-to-market and the ability to “tweak” an existing design to achieve that next level of performance are paramount for system architects, board designers, layout engineers, and others responsible for developing high-performance, cost-sensitive, dependable systems. But if you’re reading this, you understand the frustrations and challenges in trying to meet those goals with...
