Originally designed for graphics applications, GDDR is a high-performance memory solution that can be used in a variety of compute-intensive applications.
The Rambus GDDR7 controller supports both PAM3 and NRZ signaling and is optimized for high efficiency and low latency across a wide variety of traffic scenarios. It offers low-power support and robust Reliability, Availability and Serviceability (RAS) features. Comprehensive memory test support and integration support for third-party PHYs is available to instantiate a complete GDDR7 memory subsystem.
A rapid rise in the size and sophistication of AI inference models requires increasingly powerful AI accelerators and GPUs deployed in edge servers and client PCs. GDDR7 memory offers an attractive combination of bandwidth, capacity, latency and power for these accelerators and processors. The Rambus GDDR7 Memory Controller IP offers industry leading GDDR7 performance of up to 40 Gbps and 160 GB/s of available bandwidth per GDDR7 memory device.
AI/ML changes everything, impacting every industry and touching the lives of everyone. With AI training sets growing at a pace of 10X per year, memory bandwidth is a critical area of focus as we move into the next era of computing and enable this continued growth. AI training and inference have unique feature requirements that can be served by tailored memory solutions.
