High Speed Memory Interface Chipsets Let Server Performance Fly

By Rambus - 11 Nov, 2015 - Comments: 0

The demands on server performance continue to increase at a tremendous pace. New requirements from large in-memory databases that are powering today’s cloud services and advanced analytics tools are arriving just as the impact of Moore’s Law is starting to slow. This is setting up a classic performance challenge that requires rethinking some of the core elements of today’s server archit... » read more

Implementation Challenges And Solutions Of Low-Power, High-Performance Memory Systems

By Ambuj Kumar, System Architect at Rambus Cryptography Research Division Today, chip development and manufacturing processes have become exponentially complex. A typical chip may include dozens of semiconductor IPs, using various EDA tools, and developed around the globe,. The chip itself goes through very complex lifecycle from RTL through netlist, GDS data, wafer, and packaged die, to e... » read more

Lensless Ultra-Miniature CMOS Computational Imagers And Sensors

By Rambus - 06 Aug, 2014 - Comments: 0

We describe a new class of lensless, ultra-miniature computational imagers and image sensors employing special optical phase gratings integrated with CMOS photodetector matrices. Because such imagers have no lens, they are ultra- miniature (∼100 μm), have large effective depth of field (1 mm to infinity), and are very inexpensive (a few Euro cents). The grating acts as a two-dimensional visu... » read more

Secure SoC Manufacturing

Mobile Device Security

By Rambus - 05 Jun, 2014 - Comments: 0

As the functionality of mobile devices has increased, so have the threats. These devices make attractive targets, given the sensitivity of user and corporate data they process and store, their emerging use for viewing protected content and conducting sensitive banking and payment transactions. Until recently, hardware and software based defenses for mobile platforms lagged behind those found in... » read more
