HyperCloud Memory Helps Break One Million Transaction Per Minute Barrier


IRVINE, Calif., Feb. 28 — Netlist, Inc., a leading provider of high performance memory solutions for the cloud computing market, announced that its 32GB HyperCloud HCDIMM memory was an integral part of a system which broke the one million transaction per minute barrier in TPC Benchmark C testing.

Along with the latest server hardware technologies and Linux software running Hypervisor on an x86 platform, 768GB of HyperCloud memory enabled a server system for the first time to surpass the one million transaction per minute barrier in a virtualized x86 platform.

"The Transaction Processing Council is one of the most respected benchmarking organizations in the server and supercomputing industry. We’re very pleased to have HyperCloud memory be part of a record-setting performance as measured and recorded by TPC-C," said C.K. Hong, CEO of Netlist.

The TPC-C benchmark results can be accessed via our blog: http://www.netlist.com/media/blog/breakthrough-tpc-c-results-with-768gb-of-hypercloud/

HyperCloud memory utilizes a distributed buffer architecture to reduce latency and incorporates Netlist's patented rank multiplication and load reduction technologies. Rank multiplication enables more DRAM capacity and load reduction reduces the loading to the memory interface allowing HCDIMMs to run at faster speeds at maximum capacity.
HCDIMMs allow servers to operate at their peak potential by speeding up the transfer of data between CPU and memory. HyperCloud increases performance in such key applications as analytics, simulation and as shown by this benchmark, virtualization.

About Netlist

Netlist, Inc. designs and manufactures high-performance, logic-based memory subsystems for server and storage applications for cloud computing. Netlist’s flagship products include HyperCloud, a patented memory technology that breaks traditional memory barriers, NVvault family of products that enables data retention during power interruption, EXPRESSvault, a PCI Express backup/recovery solution for cache data protection and a broad portfolio of industrial Flash and specialty memory subsystems including VLP (very low profile) DIMMs and Planar-X RDIMMs.
 
Netlist develops technology solutions for customer applications in which high-speed, high-capacity, small form factor and heat dissipation are key requirements for system memory. These customers include OEMs that design and build tower, rack-mounted, and blade servers, high-performance computing clusters, engineering workstations and telecommunications equipment. Founded in 2000, Netlist is headquartered in Irvine, CA with manufacturing facilities in Suzhou, People’s Republic of China and an engineering design center in Silicon Valley, CA.
