Die Bandbreite und Zugriffszeit traditioneller DRAMs reicht nicht mehr aus, um mit der Geschwindigkeit moderner Mikroprozessoren Schritt zu halten. Daher baut man verstärkt Hochleistungs-Speicherchips, deren neue Generation das Thema dieses Buches bildet. Die Autorin, eine international anerkannte Spezialistin, diskutiert objektiv und herstellerunabhängig Technologien wie DDR DRAMs, CiDDR DRAMs, SL=DRAM, Direct Rambus, SSTL Interfaces und MP-DRAMs. Der aktuellste verfügbare Beitrag zu einem enorm wichtigen Thema!
