Emerging Non Volatile Memory and Spin Logic

The requirement for high density storage products to meet the expanding amounts of data predicted for this decade and extending well into the next has prompted investigations into alternative technologies which include STT RAM , ReRAM and PCRAM. The cost, reliability and availability of these technologies and their performances continue to encourage product development within the industry. The potential of these NVM products can be thought of as extending far beyond individual devices into massive storage arrays which can be well integrated into new computer architectures. These products exhibit power saving as well as performance characteristics which affect the very nature of computer designs both for memory, logic and storage. This presentation will describe these NV technologies and propose how they may change conventional thinking on how the future could apply these. A bridge between today’s memory and storage products and early NVM applications will be discussed as a demonstration of future projections.
