Cirrascale and Netlist Demo HyperCloud Memory [Supercomputing 2011]

by storagereview

Blade-based cloud computing and storage developer Cirrascale demonstrated some of their supremely capable products with Netlist (Nasdaq: NLST) at SC11. Cirrascale showed their 288GB HyperCloud DRAM memory, which, installed in an industry standard server, ran at 1,333 mega transfers per second (MT/s). This display of speed is impressive, beating out normally available RDIMM memory by 66%. Cirrascale credits the breakneck performance to their HyperCloud technology, which is, basically, virtual dual rank RDIMM, which helps prevent performance reducing bottlenecks.

Cirrascale’s rackmount server is configured with two Intel Xeon 5600 series processors and fully loaded with eighteen 16GB HyperCloud memory modules running at maximum speed allowed by the system. The showcase today also helped bring some other advantages of Cirrascale’s memory to light. HyperCloud products, as compared to other LRDIMM solutions, are plug and play with Intel processors and work more efficiently with distributed signal architecture.
