OpenCAPI & DDR4 Differential DIMM (DDIMM)

 

 

Introduction

SMART Modular is part of a growing roster of technology organizations that are contributing to the OpenCAPI Consortium and driving data center server innovation. Through the Consortium, members are working collaboratively to innovate on top of OpenCAPI, a high performance coherent bus standard designed to help the technology industry work to better meet growing demands for more advanced memory, accelerators, networking and storage technology.

 

Accelerators

The performance, virtual addressing and coherence capabilities allow FPGA and ASIC accelerators to behave as if they were integrated into a custom microprocessor.

 

Coherent Network Controller

OpenCAPI provides the bandwidth that will be needed to support rapidly increasing network speeds. Network controllers based on virtual addressing can eliminate software overhead without the programming complexity usually associated with user level network protocols.

 

Advanced Memory

OpenCAPI allows storage controllers to bypass kernel software overhead, enabling extreme IOPS performance without wasting valuable CPU cycles.

 

Products

SMART's DDR4 Differential DIMM (DDIMM) is a leading-edge transformative memory module that enables a data throughput rate of 25.6GB/s with a latency of 40ns and densities up to 256GB. The new 84-pin DDR4 DDIMM is intended for use in standard server environments. It utilizes a serial interface and a differential Data Buffer (dDB) from Microsemi. The DDIMM supports IBM's P9 prime (P9P) and P10 processors' memory attached architecture. Diagram below.
