Get hands-on with the HTC Vive featuring games such as Google Tilt Brush, Space Pirate Trainer, Audioshield and the Apollo 11 Space Mission.

3D NAND MODEL AT FLASH MEMORY SUMMIT

Looking ahead, one of the next challenges for storage companies will be developing Storage Class Memory (SCM) – nonvolatile memory with access rates and other characteristics more like DRAM than flash.

However, the potential of SCM in computing environments won’t be reached unless the technology can escape the challenges of scaling. What needs development is powerful, high capacity technology that will be practical and economical enough for commercialization. One key to the success of this technology is 3D NAND.

Swing by the booth to see the 3D model created of 64 layer BiCS Memory Cell and be sure to catch the full presentation by Dr. Siva Sivaram in his keynote, Creating Storage Class Memory: Learning from 3D NAND
