Enables high performance and reliability of
data for next-generation cloud data centers
Rambus Inc. (NASDAQ:RMBS) today announced the industry’s first
production release of a JEDEC-standard persistent memory register
clock driver (NVRCD) for use with DDR4 non-volatile dual in-line
memory modules (NVDIMM). Operating at data rates up to 3200 MT/s,
the Rambus DDR4 NVRCD enables NVDIMMs to combine the performance of
DRAM, with the persistence of storage-class memory to meet the
needs of data intensive workloads like high-performance file
systems, databases, big data analytics and storage.
NVDIMMs bridge the gap between dynamic random access memory
(DRAM) and storage, allowing greater flexibility in data management
by providing non-volatile, low-latency memory closer to the
processor. According to analyst forecasts, demand for NVDIMM
technologies is set to increase from fewer than five million units
in 2017 to more than 25 million units in 2020.
“The pairing of non-volatile memory with DRAM in the same module
keeps the data near processing and drastically reduces latency and
increases performance,” said Luc Seraphin, senior vice president
and general manager of the Rambus Memory and Interfaces Division.
“As the latest addition to our server DIMM chipset family, our DDR4
NVRCD builds upon our existing high-speed chip and signalling
expertise to deliver differentiated, persistent memory solutions
ideal for high-performance, high-capacity enterprise and data
center systems.”
Fully compliant with the latest JEDEC DDR4 RCD and NVRCD
specifications, the Rambus DDR4 NVRCD delivers industry-leading I/O
performance and margins. It is the first chip in production for
DDR4 NVDIMM-N products and paves the way for emerging NVDIMM-P
architectures. The NVRCD also supports NV-RDIMMs and NV-LRDIMMs
operating at speeds up to DDR4-3200.
The NVRCD is available in production quantities today.
