Synopsis

Traditional Dynamic Random Access Memory Modules, or DRAMs, no longer have adequate bandwidth and access time to keep up with the speed of current microprocessors. In order to solve this problem, many work stations and mainframe manufacturers are starting to use high speed memories, which are memory technologies that improve the speed and efficiency of microprocessors. It is expected that high speed memories will be in widespread use within a few years.

About this title

From the Publisher

Traditional DRAM memories can no longer keep up with the speed of current microprocessors. To solve the problem, many workstation and mainframe manufacturers are experimenting with high speed memories. With implications for the entire semiconductor industry, high speed memory is on the minds of many and is the primary focus of this book, one of the first to fully explore this new development.

From the Back Cover

High Performance Memories New architecture DRAMs and SRAMs evolution and function Revised Edition Betty Prince Memory Strategies International, Leander, Texas, USA Now presenting extra product specific material on the new DDR SDRAMs, ESDRAMs and DDR ESDRAMs, Direct Rambus DRAMs, SLDRAM, VCDRAM, SGRAM and DDR SGRAM, and DP-DRAM.
