Designing the Right Architecture
By Synopsys - 14 Jan, 2015 - Comments: 0

Designing the right architecture of a multi-processor SoC for today's sophisticated electronic products is a challenging task. The most critical element for meeting the performance requirements of the entire system is the interconnect and memory architecture. These SoC infrastructure IP components are highly configurable and need to be customized to the communication needs of all the other modu... » read more

High-Performance Network Data-Packet Classification Using Embedded Content-Addressable Memory (TCAMs)
By eSilicon - 17 Dec, 2014 - Comments: 0

With port speeds exceeding 100Gbps, route lookups that are fundamental to all routers have relied on ternary content addressable memories (TCAMs) to provide a lookup response within a clock cycle. However, TCAMs in discrete form are expensive, consume a lot of power, compete for precious real estate on the printed circuit board (PCB), and in some applications lack required flexibility. Embeddin... » read more

What You Don’t Know About Consumer Memory
By Loren Shalinsky - 04 Dec, 2014 - Comments: 0

I hear a lot of chatter about the memory markets and their fast growth. The question I like to pose to people is, "Which memory (DRAM) segment has grown faster over the last three years, servers or consumer?" The answer may surprise you. The correct answer, according to the latest IHS DRAM Market Tracker Database, is consumer. Since the beginning of 2012, the consumer DRAM market has grow... » read more

Hybrid Memory Cube – Ready For Prime Time
By Manohar Ayyagiri - 20 Nov, 2014 - Comments: 0

With the release this week of Hybrid Memory Cube (HMC) 2.0, designers can get their hands on mature, standards-based IP that can be used to significantly scale the performance of servers and data centers. HMC offers bandwidths up to 320 GB/s – 12X that of standard memory solutions like DDR4 – while consuming significantly less power. These benefits are too significant to ignore for ASIC, So... » read more

Data Center Power Consumption: What Effect Does Memory Have?
By Loren Shalinsky - 06 Nov, 2014 - Comments: 1

Data Centers now account for 3% of the worldwide power consumption, up from an estimated 1.5% just a few years ago. Data centers have been getting more efficient, but the efficiency has been hidden by the large growth in the number of data centers. The question that was recently posed to me: What effect does memory have on data center power consumption? I’ll cut straight to the chase. T... » read more

Driving Memory Beyond DDR4
By Frank Ferro - 09 Oct, 2014 - Comments: 0

While attending recent technology trade shows, the Intel Developer’s Forum (IDF) in August and last week’s ARM TechCon, I participated in many interesting discussions around server performance, power consumption, memory bandwidth and capacity. The race to introduce higher-performing servers that consume less power is fueled by the growing demand for new applications in the enterprise, commu... » read more

3 Big Bottlenecks For Design
By Ed Sperling - 09 Oct, 2014 - Comments: 0

Throughout the history of design for ICs, systems and software, bottlenecks emerge as one part of the design evolves more slowly than the next. It's frequently due to the fact that difficult engineering issues haven't been solved yet in one part of the design. Sometimes they can't be solved in a reasonable amount of time or for a reasonable amount of money and something else has to take its pla... » read more

Memory VIP
By Neill Mullinger - 09 Oct, 2014 - Comments: 0

As the consumer market, and the mobile segment in particular, continues to demand more features and more performance in their gadgets, the designer community is confronted with myriad challenges of delivering on those demands – not the least of which is verifying compliance of ever-evolving protocols that enable the connection of everything within the system on chip (SoC), and the connection ... » read more
