Netlist Memory Gets Qualified for IBM M4 Servers

IRVINE, Calif., Aug. 21 -- Netlist , Inc., a designer and manufacturer of high-performance memory subsystems, announced that its 32GB HyperCloud HCDIMM memory modules have been qualified on IBM System x3650 M4 servers. HyperCloud HCDIMMs enable the x3650 M4 to be fully populated with 768GB of system memory and simultaneously deliver high performance bandwidth and the lowest latency to support business-critical applications and increased productivity for IBM’s customers.

“The qualification of Netlist’s 32GB HCDIMM at IBM expands the availability of HyperCloud technology on one of the top selling servers in the world. With 768GB of HCDIMMs, the x3650 M4 can deliver high performance for IBM’s customers in fields such as financial services, EDA, FEA and Oil & Gas Exploration,” said C.K. Hong, Chief Executive Officer of Netlist. “HCDIMM’s innovative architecture results in memory bandwidth that is equivalent to an astounding 2 (two) server memory speed grades better than LRDIMM on fully populated Intel-based servers.”

Independent benchmarks as well as OEM testing confirm that 32GB HyperCloud HCDIMM dramatically outperforms the competing 32GB LRDIMM in side-by-side testing on fully populated dual Intel® processor E5-2600 based servers. Throughput measured in GB per second of data transferred shows 32GB HCDIMM delivers 71% faster performance with 50% less latency compared to 32GB LRDIMM. This faster performance and lower latency of HCDIMM combine for an overall memory throughput advantage equivalent to 2 (two) memory speed grades above LRDIMM.

Information on HyperCloud’s industry leading performance, including recent independent tests and OEM qualification,can be found at www.netlist.com/hypercloud.

Adapteva Unveils 64-Core Chip

Chipmaker Adapteva is sampling its 4th-generation multicore processor, known as Epiphany-IV. The 64-core chip delivers a peak performance of 100 gigaflops and draws just two watts of power, yielding a stunning 50 gigaflops/watt. The engineering samples were manufactured by GLOBALFOUNDRIES on its latest 28nm process technology.

A Petabyte of Flash in a Rack

Solid state storage specialist Nimbus Data Systems has unveiled its third-generation flash memory array, setting new benchmarks on resiliency, performance, and capacity. The new product, known as Gemini, offers up to 48 TB of capacity and over 1 million IOPS per 2U box. And despite moving to the less expensive and less reliable consumer-grade MLC flash, Nimbus has managed to double the endurance of its storage arrays.

Analyst Weighs In on 64-Bit ARM

In a recent report in Real World Technologies, chip guru David Kanter dissects the new 64-bit ARM design and what it might mean to the IT landscape. His take on the architecture is almost uniformly positive, noting that not only did the designers manage to develop an elegant instruction set that was backwardly compatible with the existing ISA, but they also took the extra step to jettison a few of the poorly designed features of the 32-bit architecture.
