Main Memory Power, Performance, and Reliability Research - overview
IBM Research collaborates closely with IBM Server Development to enhance the performance, reliability, and energy-efficiency of IBM's server main memory systems. Concepts and technologies developed at IBM Research have been implemented in numerous generations of IBM System/x, System/p, and System/z servers. Recent publications in the DRAM main memory area include:
