  1. ArxCis-NVTM NVDIMM Technology & Roadmap Review Q3’13

  2. NEW MEMORY LANDSCAPE SCM (STORAGE CLASS MEMORIES) ARGUABLY NOT VIABLE FOR MAINSTREAM ADOPTION FOR ~ 4-5 YRS NVDIMM

  3. NVDIMM • NVDIMM is “leading the charge” of Non-Volatility & Persistence to main memory • Will lead to radical changes in computing / storage architecture / paradigms • Many different usage models, with strong Value Prop Arxcis-NV Technical Overview

  4. Powered by SuperCapacitors in event of power-failure DRAM Endurance & Speed NAND for Persistence FEATURES • DRAM Capacities: 2GB, 4GB, 8GB • DDR3 1.5V 1333MT/s • NAND 2x DRAM Capacity • Multiple Host Trigger Methods (incl ADR) • Supercapacitor Charged via DIMM • Save / Restore @ ~10 sec/GB Arxcis-NV Technical Overview

  5. ArxCis NVDIMM Key Features I. • Fastest storage tier, 11GB/S, DDR3 DIMM speed & bandwidth more than 300% faster than PCI-E (3.2GB/S). • 1.4 million IOPS Read & Write, 3 times faster than PCI-E cards. (430K Write IOPS) • DRAM chips never wear out, no limit on number of writes. • DIMM interface “talks” to CPU more directly. • 1000x better latency performance than PCI-E, 10 nanoseconds vs 10 microseconds. • Complete solution with supercap, monitors supercap health.

  10. ArxCis NVDIMM Key Features II. • Use as RAMDISK, and data will be saved in event of power failure. (PRAMDISK) • Faster recover from power failure, back to system environment before power failure. • Support Instant On, apps layer data kept in flash, fastest boot. • Configure as block device for caching, performance + endurance. • Memcache application pushing up demand for NVDIMM. • Support both ADR & NMI power failure data saving functions. • Intel’s chosen partner for NVDIMM enablement for Grantely platform. Arxcis-NV Technical Overview

  11. ArxCis NVDIMM, Perfect Match For SSD based Enterprise & DCN Systems. • Removing need to write on SSDs, extend life of SSD based servers. • No need over-provisioning, releasing extra storage space from SSDs. • No operation cycles wasted on wear leveling. • No longer a “write cliff”, nor need to closely monitor drive usage. • Rapid increase in ROI for enterprise or data center applications.

  21. ARXCIS-NVTMDDR4 FEATURES Arxcis-NV Technical Overview

  22. DDR4 FEATURE SUPPORT • DDR4 DRAM Interface. DDR4 JEDEC pin-out. Module voltage @ 1.2V. • 1866MT/s Min Speed for ES. 2133MT/ for QS. (2R @ 2DPC) • Data Transfer Speeds (DRAM  Flash) @ Max 5 sec/GB. • OEM target of <60sec for SAVE/RESTORE of 16GB DIMM. • NVDIMM meets JEDEC Standard DDR4 (X-Y-Z) Mechanical dimensions (note DDR4 module max height increases to 31.25mm) • 1-Rank & 2-Rank Module Configurations Required. 2nd rank enabled via DDP/BGA stacking – Supporting 36 physical DRAM packages on DIMM • 4Gb Mono DRAM Base: 8GB 1-Rank & 16GB 2-Rank • 8Gb Mono DRAM Base: 16GB 1-Rank & 32GB 2-Rank • SSD capacity – (Appropriately sized for contents of DRAM + ECC) • Encryption AES-256 & Password Lock • Multiple Image support Arxcis-NV Technical Overview

  23. DDR4 FEATURE SUPPORT (MISC) • Early warning detection of Flash/SSD failure / wear-out, Bad block count / detection. • Erase operation. Host can initiate an erase operation to securely delete data on SSD. • In-field Firmware upgradable. • Firmware Reliability Feature. In case of firmware hang, watch dog timer feature implemented in FPGA to reset itself • JEDEC Pin-227 SAVE-pin • Intel MRC support • 12V pins. Design NVDIMM to support host systems using 12V pin as route of power (i.e consolidated supercap pack) • Build option to support supercap tethered individually to the DIMM.
