==> picture [167 x 110] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [167 x 110] intentionally omitted <==
DENSITY
RELIABILITY
-
Below ~16nm Flash can no longer hold data reliably
-
Storage capacity cannot be increased
-
Increases Bit Error Rate (BER)
-
Moore’s Law cannot be maintained
-
We need a new device that can be • Downtime and disk crashes further scaled in dimensions increase
ENERGY
By 2020:
-
US will need another 17 power plants to meet storage demand*
-
The White House announced Data Center program to become 20% more energy efficient
Data centers are becoming the new polluters
12
ReRAM technology
What is ReRAM?
-
Non-Volatile Memory which can store information even when power is off
-
Type of emerging technology
-
Resistive RAM changes its resistance across dielectric material
-
ReRAM can be stacked in 3D array to provide unlimited capacity
==> picture [379 x 214] intentionally omitted <==
Industry experts agree that ReRAM will be the dominant storage device

Reliability
----- End of picture text -----
Energy efficiency Consumes 1,000x less energy than Flash ReRAM
High endurance greatly Consumes 1,000x less reduced error rate ie. less energy than Flash mistakes ReRAM Cost effective Speed Scalability allows 1,000x faster than Flash much higher density
Higher density Stores more data
Lower voltage Much cheaper
1,000X faster Much smaller
Higher reliability
