#Diablo Rolls Out All-Flash DDR4 Memory Today Diablo Technologies announced the launch of Memory1, the first all-flash server system memory technology.
According to the company, Memory1 technology packs four times the capacity of the largest DRAM modules, delivering greater capability on fewer servers and lowering datacenter costs by up to 70 percent.
and is compatible with standard motherboards, servers, operating systems and applications. Memory1 represents a major evolution in server architecture.
The needs of the large-scale datacenter are changing, with a very sharp focus on increasing capability to win the Internet while managing tight constraints on cost and power.
with no changes to their hardware and software stacks, said Riccardo Badalone, Chief executive officer and Cofounder of Diablo Technologies. he business impact on datacenter economics and application performance is dramatic.
Wee seen customers envisioning everything from aggressive server consolidation all the way to doubling and tripling individual machine profit.
It is ideal for environments that require large memory footprints per server for workloads such as big data analytics and complex Web applications.
The average Memory1 use case enables a four-to-one server reduction, and one customer use case requires 90 percent fewer servers.
Accordingly, Diablo will initially focus on delivering Memory1 to cloud and hyperscale datacenters, which stand to see significant economic benefits because of their scale.
Jeff Janukowicz, Research director for Solid state drives and Enabling Technologies at IDC said, he cloud, virtualization, big data and analytics are pressuring the infrastructure of many of today enterprise datacenters.

#3d Computer Chips Could Be 1, 000 Times Faster Than Existing Ones A new method of designing and building computer chips could lead to blisteringly quick processing at least 1,
000 times faster than the best existing chips are capable of, researchers say. The new method,
and the number-crunching processors in the same tiny space, said Max Shulaker, one of the designers of the chip,
Reducing the distance between the two elements can dramatically reduce the time computers take to do their work
the three-pronged electrical switches that do the logical operations for computers. According to Moore's law, a rough rule first articulated by semiconductor researcher Gordon E. Moore in 1965, the number of transistors on a given silicon chip would roughly double every two years.
Beyond that, shrinking transistors to the bitter end may not do much to make computers faster. Long commute time The main roadblock to faster computers is not flagging processor speed,
but a memory problem, Shulaker said. Big data analysis requires the computer to draw some tiny piece of data from some previously unknown spot in truly staggering troves of data.
Then the computer must shuttle that information via an electrical signal back and forth across the (relatively) vast inches of wire between the computer's memory (typically a hard drive)
and the processors, facing the speed bump of electrical resistance along the entire path.""If you try to run that in your computer,
you would spend over 96 percent of the time just being idle, doing absolutely nothing,"Shulaker said."
"You're wasting an enormous amount of power.""While the Central processing unit (CPU) waits for a piece of data to make the return trip from the memory, for instance,
the computer is still hogging power, even though it's not calculating a thing. Solving the memory-CPU"commute time,
"however, is tricky. The two components can't be put in the same wafer because silicon-based wafers must be heated to about 1, 800 degrees Fahrenheit (1, 000 degrees Celsius),
while many of the metal elements in hard drives (or solid state drives) melt at those temperatures, Shulaker said.
