Event Details

New computing architectures are being driven by the end of Moore's Law scaling. At the same time AI, IoT, and faster connectivity will drive the need for more computing in data centers, at and beyond the network edge and in individual consumer and industrial devices. An important requirement to enable these new computational architectures and to improve computational efficiency and reduce energy consumption will be moving from volatile to non-volatile memories. There are many options for non-volatile memory to replace DRAM and SRAM including phase change memory (PCM, such as Intel's Octane), magnetic random access memory (MRAM), ferroelectric random access memory (FRAM) as well as FeFETs and resistive memory (RRAM). This talk will look at the drivers for new computing architectures, the future role of non-volatile memory (including computational storage and in-memory computing), and the candidates for non-volatile memories that will be used in tomorrow's embedded devices and computers.
