Slated to improve performance and power efficiency for data centers
SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Rambus
Inc. (NASDAQ:RMBS) today announced the Smart Data
Acceleration (SDA) Research Program designed to tackle major issues
facing data centers in the age of Big Data. The SDA Research Program has
been exploring new architectures for servers and data centers that are
optimized for rack-level Big Data computation, targeting significant
improvements in performance and power efficiency, as the industry brings
computing closer to data.
"Modern servers are out of balance with today's needs - data centers are
under stress due to escalating demands of real-time access to large
amounts of information driven by Big Data and new applications," said
Laura Stark, senior vice president and general manager of the Emerging
Solutions division at Rambus. "This research platform focuses on
architectures that offload computing closer to very large data sets at
multiple points in the memory and storage hierarchy."
As part of the program, Rambus has created a platform to investigate
system architectures that include software, firmware, FPGAs and large
amounts of memory. The platform can be used to test new methods to
optimize and accelerate data analytics for extremely large data sets.
With use cases including real-time risk analytics, ad serving, neural
imaging, transcoding and genome mapping, the Rambus SDA Research program
is a key technology investment for the next generation of data centers.
