United States: MetaRAM's MetaSDRAM Technology Now Available From Supermicro.Byline: shabnam05 MetaRAM,a fabless semiconductor company A fabless semiconductor company specializes in the design and sale of hardware devices implemented on semiconductor chips. It achieves an advantage by outsourcing the fabrication of the devices to a specialized semiconductor manufacturer called a semiconductor foundry or "fab. focused on improving memoryperformance, today announced that its breakthrough technology is nowavailable through Super Micro Computer, Inc. (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on : SMCI SMCI Senior Military Customs Inspector (US Army) SMCI Super Micro Computer Inc. ), a leaderin application-optimized, high performance server solutions.Supermicro is demonstrating 8 gigabyte (GB) DDR (Double Data Rate) Refers to an SDRAM memory chip that increases performance by doubling the effective data rate of the frontside bus. For more details, see SDRAM. DDR - Double Data Rate Random Access Memory 2 R-DIMMs, enabled byMetaSDRAM(TM), on a two-processor Intel(R) Xeon(R)-based motherboard,as well as a quad-socket 1U server with AMD (Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., Sunnyvale, CA, www.amd.com) A major manufacturer of semiconductor devices including x86-compatible CPUs, embedded processors, flash memories, programmable logic devices and networking chips. Quad-Core Opteron(TM)processors.Supermicro's A+ Server 1041M-T2+ features four AMD Quad-Core Opteronsand, with the MetaSDRAM technology, is available with 256GB totalDDR2SDRAM (Synchronous DRAM) A type of dynamic RAM (DRAM) memory chip that has been widely used since the late 1990s. SDRAM chips eliminated wait states by dividing the chip into two cell blocks and interleaving data between them. in each system. The Supermicro DP Xeon 5100-series motherboardis available with two Dual-Core or Quad-Core Intel 64-bit Xeonprocessors -- and with MetaSDRAM technology -- up to 48GB of totalDDR2 SDRAM. These systems are ideal for compute-intensiveapplications, like CAD and EDA simulations, database transactionprocessing, business intelligence, digital content creation The development of newsworthy, educational and entertainment material for distribution over the Internet or other electronic media.

"Thistechnology allows Supermicro to offer larger memory supercomputersolutions to our customers at better prices, enabling us to quicklyand easily expand our product reach."MetaSDRAM is a new memory technology announced by MetaRAM in February2008 that closes the gap between processor computing power -- whichdoubles every 18 months -- and DRAM capacity, which doubles onlyevery36 months. Until now, the industry addressed this gap by addinghigher capacity DRAM to each dual in-line memory module See DIMM. (storage) Dual In-line Memory Module - Small circuit boards carrying memory integrated circuits, with signal and power pins on both sides of the board, in contrast to single-in-line memory modules (SIMM). (DIMM (Dual In-Line Memory Module) A printed circuit board that holds memory chips and plugs into a DIMM socket on the motherboard. See memory module. DIMM - Dual In-Line Memory Module ) on themotherboard. However, high-capacity DRAM is exponentially moreexpensive than regular DRAM and often simply not available.The MetaSDRAM chipset, which sits between the memory controller andthe DRAM, solves the memory capacity problem cost effectively byenabling up to four times more mainstream DRAMs to be integrated intoexisting DIMMs without the need for any hardware or software changes.The chipset makes multiple DRAMs look like a larger capacity DRAM tothe memory controller. The result is "stealth" high-capacity memorythat circumvents the normal limitations set by the memory controller.This new technology has accelerated memory technology development by2-4 years.Supermicro will be demonstrating its two new products with MetaRAM atthe International Supercomputing Conference (ISC) '08, June 17-19, atthe International Congress Center Dresden in Dresden, Germany, boothB25-B28.For more information on the Supermicro's A+ Server 1041M-T2+, go tohttp://www.supermicro.com/Aplus/system/1U/1041/AS-1041M-T2.cfm.
