Rambus Expanded Cryogenic Memory Collaboration With Microsoft

To develop prototype systems that optimize memory performance

Rambus, Inc. announced an expanded collaboration with Microsoft researchers to develop prototype systems that optimize memory performance in cryogenic temperatures.

Following the initial collaboration announced in December 2015, this agreement extends joint efforts to enhance memory capabilities, reduce energy consumption and improve overall system performance.

The technologies being developed by the companies will improve energy efficiency for DRAM and logic operation at cryogenic temperatures, defined by the US National Institute of Standards and Technology as below -180 °C or -292.00 °F or 93.15 K for super and quantum computers. Additionally, it will enable high-speed SerDes links to operate in cryogenic and superconducting domains and allow new memory systems to function at these temperatures.

With the increasing challenges in conventional approaches to improving memory capacity and power efficiency, our early research indicates that a significant change in the operating temperature of DRAM using cryogenic techniques may become essential in future memory systems,” said Dr. Gary Bronner, VP, Rambus Labs. “Our strategic partnership with Microsoft has enabled us to identify new architectural models as we strive to develop systems utilizing cryogenic memory. The expansion of this collaboration will lead to new applications in high-performance super computers (HPC) and quantum computers.

We’re excited to continue working with Rambus and broaden our partnership to further develop technologies for memory optimization in cryogenic temperatures,” said Doug Carmean, partner architect, Microsoft’s research organization. “Rambus’ expertise in memory systems has helped us identify new memory architectures to meet our future requirements.
