RSS memory chipsRFID Tagging: Final Report
White Paper The tags are small silicon chips that contain a unique identifying code and may also contain some form of stored battery power and on-chip memory. While RFID chips can be classified on the basis of several characteristics such as frequency, multi... [03 Jul 2008]
Why Intel StrataFlash Memory?
White Paper Gaining greater density in fewer chips is a vital advantage for applications as fewer components equate to lower system cost and higher system reliability. Intel StrataFlash memory technology stores two bits of information per memory cell instead... [03 Jul 2008]
A Case for Multi-Level Main Memory
White Paper Current trends suggest that the number of memory chips per processor chip will increase at least a factor of ten in seven years. The main question raised in this research is how cost, size, and power consumption can be reduced by transforming... [03 Jul 2008]
POWER2 Fixed-Point, Data Cache, and Storage Control Units
White Paper Three of the chips on the multichip module, the Fixed-Point Unit (FXU), Data Cache Unit (DCU), and Storage Control Unit (SCU), provide a tightly integrated subsystem that avoids bottlenecks in the cache, memory, and I/O interfaces. [03 Jul 2008]
The PA-7300LC: The First System on a Chip
White Paper The high-end stream, which includes the PA-7200 and PA-8000 chips, is optimized for very high performance, highly expandable power desktops and servers. The topics include: Design Objectives, PA-7300LC Overview, PA-7300LC Overview, System Block... [03 Jul 2008]
Which V.90 Modem to Buy
White Paper This requires flash memory and RAM DSP chips. The V.90 standard is relatively new. New means evolving. Reputable manufacturers have made sure their modems are capable of being updated to enhance compatibility and performance. [03 Jul 2008]
Diagnostic Testing of Embedded Memories Using BIST
White Paper The increasing use of large embedded memories in Systems-on-Chips requires automatic memory reconfiguration to avoid the need for external accessibility. In this work, effective diagnostic memory tests of linear order O(N) are proposed that enable... [03 Jul 2008]
Google: Server efficiency needs different approach
News But chips are actually better than hard drives, memory and network adapters at reducing power consumption during periods of moderate activity. Chipmakers have been applying lessons learned in mobile computing to servers in an effort to increase... [25 Jun 2008]
Fast and Scalable Pattern Matching for Network Intrusion Detection Systems
White Paper The paper uses embedded on-chip memory blocks in FPGA/VLSI chips to construct Bloom filters which can suppress a large fraction of memory accesses and speed up string matching. Multi-pattern matching is known to require intensive memory accesses... [19 Jun 2008]
IBM smashes the supercomputing petaflop
News Roadrunner runs on 6,948 dual-core AMD Opteron chips on IBM Model LS21 blade servers, and 12,960 Cell engines on IBM Model QS22 blade servers. With 80 terabytes of memory, the Roadrunner system and is housed in 288 IBM BladeCentre racks occupying 6... [11 Jun 2008]
IBM gets chips to chill out in water
News But before that, one would probably see chips with one core layer and a memory layer sitting on top that can still be cooled with [an] outside system," Brunschwiler said. Chips built in a three-dimensional stack formation offer more pathways for... [06 Jun 2008]
Sun breaks through supercomputer haze with Constellation
News Fowler said: "We got a special run of chips from AMD to make our commitments. Sun will later release more standard Barcelona servers when the chips become available. The linchpin of Constellation is the switch, the piece of hardware that conducts... [14 Feb 2008]
HP's inkjet tech seeks to replace hypodermic needles
News It is also trying to license a "crossbar latch" technology that it says could replace transistors in processors or memory chips. What else can inkjet technology be used for? Injecting drugs into humans, according to Hewlett-Packard. [11 Sep 2007]
SeeMote: In-Situ Visualization and Logging Device for Wireless Sensor Networks
White Paper Solutions for the above have been presented using laptops, Personal Digital Assistants (PDA), onboard flash memory chips of limited size (usually 1MB), and laboratory test equipment. This paper addresses three challenges that are present when... [23 Aug 2007]
IBM working on spinning magnetic memory
News Why does IBM care about memory chips when it makes its money mostly from services and servers? Developing non-volatile memory will give it a necessary ingredient for making chips for itself or others. [20 Aug 2007]
