We frequently see DDR SDRAMs as a key specification of computers and digital devices. In this two-part guest commentary, Ben Miller from Keysight Technologies shares his insights into the design of DDR SDRAMs (Part 1) and how faster memory speeds shape the future (Part 2).
DDR5 is still in the early phases of adoption. JEDEC released the standard in July 2020. The first CPU platform to support DDR5 was released in early 2022.
However, this platform still includes DDR4 support, so it could be some time before the industry accepts DDR5 as the de-facto memory standard and fully transitions memory systems to the new standard.
Faster memory enables the future
Over the next couple of years, more personal computers, servers, and embedded systems will take advantage of the higher speed, lower power, and greater memory capacity available with DDR5.

We frequently see DDR SDRAMs as a key specification of computers and digital devices. In this two-part guest commentary, Ben Miller from Keysight Technologies shares his insights into the design of DDR SDRAMs (Part 1) and how faster memory speeds shape the future (Part 2).
Faster data processing requires faster memory.
Double data rate synchronous dynamic random-access memory (DDR SDRAM) enables the world’s computers to work with the data in memory.
Faster, not wider
Since the origins of SDRAM, engineers have faced challenges with increasing memory speeds.

Figure 1: DDR has both one-way control signals and bidirectional data buses. Click to enlarge.
DDR emerged as a faster, more efficient way to handle memory, while providing a universal standard between chip designers and device manufacturers.
As shown in Figure 1, DDR memory consists of a memory controller which transmits clock, address and control signals, and a series of DRAM chips which store the data.
In a write operation, the controller sends data and strobe signals to the DRAM; in a read operation, the DRAM sends data and strobe signals back over the same bi-directional line.
DDR SDRAM became the standard in the late 1990s and has since been improved upon many times over.
Prior to DDR, memory speeds maxed out in the range of 100 MT/s.

The event underscores Lenovo’s maturity from a device-centric manufacturer to adopt a customer-centric strategy that offers end-to-end solutions to fulfill the business and organisational needs of their customers.

Lenovo Experiential Day 2022 is the first in-person showcase in almost two years at JW Marriott Hotel South Beach in Singapore.
The Lenovo Experiential Day 2022 marks the resumption of the company’s flagship event in Singapore, from the hiatus arising from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Speaking with some of the regular attendees of the event, I found that not a few were surprised at the departure from the past device-centric showcase of end-user hardware.
“In many ways, Lenovo Experiential Day 2022 highlights that Lenovo is no longer just a device-centric company, but an end-to-end solutions provider that is helping customers embark on their journey to digital transformation 2.0 in an era filled with increasing challenges but also tremendous opportunities,” said Nigel Lee, General Manager, Lenovo Singapore.
Personally, I am glad Lenovo Singapore is adopting a more customer-centric approach in offering real-world holistic solutions to meet the needs of business and organisations seeking digital transformation through technology.

One week into being promoted to the top job of President and CEO of Gigamon, Shane Buckley sat down with tech4tea.com to share his strategy for Gigamon and how Deep Observability can help enterprises turn the table on sophisticated hackers in the cat-and-mouse game that is Cybersecurity.

Shane Buckley, President and CEO of Gigamon.
Cloud adoption has come into its own in recent years, with the COVID-19 pandemic spurring more digital transformation around the world in two years than the preceding 10 years.
“Here in Asia, the growth of hybrid cloud is phenomenal. 73% of organisations in Asia Pacific that were surveyed will deploy hybrid cloud – more than just a multi public cloud solution – because they want to leverage the existing infrastructure and data centres they have; and to enjoy the flexibility, scale, automation, orchestration, that you get from any of these different cloud based technologies, such as Nutanix, VMware and others,” Buckley said.
What Gigamon Does
Gigamon is the leading deep observability company that harnesses actionable network-level intelligence to amplify the power of observability tools.
This powerful combination enables IT organisations to assure security and compliance governance, speed root-cause analysis of performance bottlenecks, and lower operational overhead associated with managing hybrid and multi-cloud IT infrastructures.
The result is that modern enterprises realise the full transformational promise of the cloud.
This growth and move to the cloud is the driver behind the increased challenges of cybersecurity in this era – because of the complexities of operating on hybrid multi cloud IT infrastructure, and the increased sophistication of hackers.
Buckley shares that “one of the biggest lessons from 2021 is that the nature of the threat is continuing to get more sophisticated, with nation state actors, as well as nefarious groups that have become extremely adept at hacking into some of the world’s supposedly most secure networks and infrastructures”.
Enterprises need all the help they can get securing their IT infrastructure and fending off attacks arising from the increased exposure of the cloud environment.
Buckley observes that this battle is like a “cat-and-mouse” game in which – unfortunately – the mouse is winning. His role at Gigamon is to make sure the nefarious actors don’t win, by teaching and equipping companies and organisations with the ability to better provide security for their infrastructure.
“Gigamon is the leader in visibility and analytics for organisations worldwide, we help secure some of the most secure, most complex, most challenging networks on the planet. Our ability to see, control and secure workloads, no matter where they sit in the hybrid, multi cloud is what we’ve delivered through the Gigamon labs,” says Shane Buckley, President and CEO, Gigamon.
Research has shown that in 2021, 68% of all US organisations were hacked, which was up from over 50% in 2020. Many of those cases – some 25-30 percent – are ransomware attacks where organisations have to pay literally billions of dollars to these actors to release data that had been illegally encrypted and beyond use for those organisations.
“In that environment, where the nature of the threat is getting more sophisticated, we companies who actually provide protection for customers, we’ve got to move faster, because the level of sophistication of these people is becoming exponentially higher. We have to make sure that we can respond,” said Buckley.
“We’re in a unique position to provide those customers with the foundational visibility analytics they need to enhance their security posture and ensure they can minimise risk, maximise compliance, and try as much as we can to get the bad actors out,” Buckley added.
More details from the interview below.

Tech Focus: DDR5 – How Faster Memory Speeds Shape the Future (Part 2 of 2)
Friday, May 20th, 2022We frequently see DDR SDRAMs as a key specification of computers and digital devices. In this two-part guest commentary, Ben Miller from Keysight Technologies shares his insights into the design of DDR SDRAMs (Part 1) and how faster memory speeds shape the future (Part 2).
