IRVINE, Calif., Aug. 8, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Netlist, Inc.
(NASDAQ: NLST), today announced the demonstration of its HybriDIMM™
storage class memory product at the 2017 Flash Memory Summit,
taking place August 8-10 in
Santa Clara, California. The
demonstration will showcase two widely used open-source databases,
for the first time, running concurrently on a Storage Class Memory
(SCM) solution: MongoDB exercises HybriDIMM's in-memory channel
block storage capabilities while the Redis in-memory database
utilizes memory semantics to achieve a true persistent memory
solution.
C.K. Hong, Netlist Chief
Executive Officer, said, "With the flexibility to operate as main
memory, block storage and persistent memory in a standard server –
a first in the industry, HybriDIMM can serve as both a memory or
storage solution for the rapidly growing markets in big data
analytics, in-memory computing and artificial intelligence. This
demonstration shows the versatility of HybriDIMM's revolutionary
architecture and the practical benefits of data access through
multiple operating modes in the memory channel SCM. We are
pushing forward with our plans for commercializing this
ground-breaking product, in concert with our development
partners."
HybriDIMM combines existing memory semiconductors, DRAM and NAND
Flash, with intelligent "on-DIMM" co-processing to seamlessly
manage the data transfer between on-DIMM storage and the
system. It is recognized by any x86 server as a standard
LRDIMM with no BIOS modifications or system changes. HybriDIMM's
three operating modes include Main Memory access via on board DRAM,
and Block Storage and Persistent Memory accessed via on-board
co-processors with NAND Flash. HybriDIMM's cost-effective fast
storage and memory extension allows datacenter operators to lower
the cost of running database applications, online transaction
processing, big data analytics, and in-memory computing, and
capitalize on the promise of storage class memory.
Please visit Netlist at Booth #809 at the Flash Memory Summit,
August 8-10, 2017 in the Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara, CA.
Technical Summary of HybriDIMM:
