The memory solution from Cadence is specifically designed to meet the demands of data centres and enterprise environments, particularly for AI and HPC workloads. By leveraging LPDDR5X technology, the solution ensures high performance while optimizing power consumption and maintaining reliability.
By incorporating RAS capabilities into the LPDDR5X DRAM technology, Cadence’s solution strikes a balance between performance and reliability in a compact form factor. With speeds reaching up to 9600Mbps, this solution offers sideband ECC performance comparable to traditional DDR5 ECC implementations, making it ideal for data centre applications.
At the core of this system is Microsoft’s RAIDDR ECC coding schema, which is engineered for near single-device data correction (SDDC). This algorithm excels in fault detection with minimal logic overhead, aiming to provide the same level of protection as symbol-based ECC commonly found in DDR5 RDIMM applications.
Key Features of the Solution:
– 40-bit channel support using LPDDR5X DRAM
– 9600Mbps performance with minimal power consumption
– Enterprise-grade RAS with symbol-based ECC assurance
– Sideband ECC for optimized channel bandwidth
– Space-efficient design for compact systems
This memory solution expands Cadence’s offerings for enterprise and data centres, complementing their existing LPDDR6 system launched earlier. The company’s memory IP frameworks cater to high-performance AI training and inferencing tasks, along with a range of silicon-verified, PPA-refined memory and interface IP for HPC and AI workloads.
