The company rambus, which is specialized in the solutions in the region of high-speed architectures, promulgated the new development, which makes possible to decrease the energy consumption of platforms, which operate with data with the speeds in the order of several gigabits per second. On the information Of rambus, for its specialists it was possible to triply decrease the energy consumption in comparison with the traditional realizations of sequential system bus, after preserving high performance. The work of test transceiver was under laboratory conditions demonstrated, capable of transmitting more than 3600 Tbit given (which is equivalent to the volume of approximately 100000 usual DVD) with the expenditures of energy, equal to two small batteries AA.
Documentary evidence of the results project will be presented to the public on 14 February at the conference international solid state circuits conference (ISSCC).
The guarantee of reduction in the energy consumption, as it was communicated, became systems approach to the architecture of transceiver. Analyzing the distribution of energy consumption in the existing developments, the specialists Of rambus created test 90 nm chip, which ensures the speed of 6,25 Gbit/s. The energy consumption of new product is 14 mW, which is equivalent to 2,2 mW per gigabit per second.
It is assumed that development will be possible to begin to operate in the promising parallel and sequential system buses for the applications, sensitive to the energy consumption.
Let us recall, last the achievements Of rambus in the region of the architectural solutions for the subsystems of memory were shown within the conference DesignCon 2007, past in USA two weeks ago.
