Collaboration with Microsoft researchers focuses on enhancing memory
capabilities to support quantum computing
SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Rambus
Inc. (NASDAQ: RMBS) today announced it will collaborate with Microsoft
researchers in the exploration of
future memory requirements for quantum computing. The expertise of
Rambus in high-bandwidth, power-efficient memory architectures, combined
with Microsoft researchers' knowledge of advanced system and data center
design will be applied to drive new technology platforms.
"Existing computer architectures are reaching limits due to the ever
increasing demands of real-time data consumption, which is driving the
need to explore new high-performance, energy-efficient computer
systems," said Gary Bronner, vice president of Rambus Labs. "By working
with Microsoft on this project, we can leverage our vast expertise in
memory systems to identify new architectural models."
"We've been investing in projects that advance our understanding of
quantum computing along with its applications and implementation," said
Douglas Carmean, Architect, Quantum Architectures and Computation
Microsoft Research. "We are focusing on exploring theoretical and
experimental approaches to creating quantum computers, designing
software, hardware and other elements that support our research and
direction. In this process, we are engaging with partners that have
critical expertise, such as Rambus, to build new types of computing
platforms."
Rambus has a long history of researching and exploring emerging
platforms, developing meaningful technologies with broad applicability.
As part of this program, Rambus and Microsoft will pool resources to
further examine potential architectures that can greatly enhance memory
capabilities in various settings to improve overall system performance.
Specific details of the project are confidential.
