Intel Labs, ITRI launch prototype - Taipei Times
[h=1]Intel Labs, ITRI launch prototype[/h]US-based Intel Corp’s research arm and the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI, 工研院) have created a new low-energy prototype memory array that can boost a device’s battery life.
The prototype DRAM array can achieve four times lower latency at 25 times less energy than the standard double data rate synchronous DRAM (DDR SDRAM) devices that are generally used in computers, Intel Labs said.
The improved energy efficiency can help improve the battery life of devices, integrate mobile data faster, enhance graphics with higher resolution and boost mobile user experience, it said.
Intel Labs said that technology from the prototype could be used in system-on-chip (SoC) devices for mobile devices or a memory controller for datacenter systems with large memory arrays.
The prototype is the latest in a series of continuing research efforts in advanced memory architectures by Intel Labs and ITRI since 2011. They have created experimental memory arrays and prototyping, and developed model simulation software.
“As a technology innovator for nearly half a century, Intel believes that technology can have a transformative impact on people and communities,” Intel Labs managing director Wang Wen-hann (王文漢) said on Thursday last week in Taipei.
“This belief is what drives our collaborations with governments, the research community, academia, industry and others. The goal is to enable new thinking and skills to further economic empowerment,” Wang told a news conference at the first Intel Asia Innovation Summit in Taiwan.
The Intel Asia Innovation Summit runs through today. It has brought nearly 300 attendees from China, India, South Korea, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, the US and Vietnam to discuss key technology topics, such as the Internet of Things, wearables, interactive tech, mobility and big data.

Intel Labs and Taiwan's Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI), a nonprofit R&D (research and development) organization, have jointly developed an experimental memory array which they say will give better performance while using less energy.
The superfast memory array architecture is designed for use in future mobile devices such as ultrabooks, tablets, and smartphones, as well as large data centers running cloud computing technology, a Central News Agency (CNA) report said Tuesday.
Developing memory with the new architecture will give longer battery life, improved graphics with higher resolution, and faster integration of mobile data, said Intel CTO Justin Rattner at a news conference in Taipei. Intel Labs is the U.S. chipmaker's (R&D) arm.
Tests on terminal devices using the new architecture will begin next year, and will include handheld gadgets and supercomputers, Rattner added. "Taiwan has long been at the forefront of technology innovation and we look forward to continued research collaboration that sustains Taiwan's status as a major center of innovation for the global IT industry," he said.
Wu Cheng-wen, vice president and general director of ITRI's Information and Communications Research Laboratories, pointed to the collaboration as an effort to help Taiwanese foundries address future challenges in the market. It will also have a significant impact on the development of future memory products and high-end application processors, Wu added.
According to the CNA report, the Intel-ITRI partnership began in 2011 and involves the creation of experimental memory arrays, prototyping, and development of model simulation software.
