Only months after Samsung’s announcement of 3D memory production a new 4-dimensional memory has been prototyped by university researchers. This memory not only has bits in the X and Y dimensions, like planar NAND, and the Z dimension, like 3D NAND, but it also grows in capacity over time, spanning the fourth dimension: time.
This research has been spearheaded by George P. Burdell, Assistant Associate Professor pro tem at Death Valley University. The work is the culmination of a decades-long effort to find a way to increase memory sizes in systems without the need to replace chips or modules.
The team has created the name “Growing RAM” or “GRAM” for the technology. Current prototypes exhibit very favorable Continue reading “Researchers Devise 4-D Memory”
