Samsung Electronics and SAP Open Research Center for Next-generation In-memory Platform
Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. and SAP (News - Alert) SE, today held the opening
ceremony for a joint research center where engineers will conduct R&D
for memory solutions to be used in next-generation in-memory computing.
The ceremony was held at Samsung (News - Alert) Electronics' Hwaseong campus in South
Korea with Dr. Young-Hyun Jun, President of Samsung Electronics' Memory
Business and Adaire Fox-Martin, President, SAP Asia Pacific Japan
participating, as well as other executives from both companies.
The establishment of the research center is part of an extended
partnership between the two world-leading corporations, under which the
two will focus on in-memory technology development that enables faster
data processing and more insightful analyses of rapidly increasing
amounts of data.
The two companies intend to lead the push for more advanced global
in-memory market offerings by conducting cutting-edge research of
next-generation DRAM for customer solutions and working together on
their commercialization.
At the research center, Samsung and SAP will provide global customers
with optimized in-memory solutions through the provisioning of extensive
technical support including test runs of the SAP HANA® platform and
evaluation of Samsung's latest high-performance, high-density memory
solutions.
The server system at the center uses a 24-terabyte (TB) in-memory
platform, which is based on Samsung's 128-gigabyte (GB) DDR4 3DS
(three-dimensional stacked) DRAM modules fabricated on he 20-nanometer
process node. The companies plan to apply 10nm-class 256GB 3DS DRAM
modules next year to improve overall system performance and power
efficiency, which is expected to lead to an in-memory system that will
offer even greater return on investment for Samsung and SAP customers.
"With our latest 10nm-class DRAM technology, Samsung Electronics will be
able to provide more advanced solutions for SAP's next-generation
in-memory system in a highly efficient manner," said Dr. Young-Hyun Jun,
President of the Memory Business, Samsung Electronics. "Samsung will
continue solidifying its technology leadership in the high-density
memory market through ongoing innovation."
"Together with Samsung Electronics, we will develop the next generation
of in-memory solutions for customers using the SAP HANA platform. This
collaboration with Samsung extends our partnership and represents our
commitment to drive innovation and help our customers win in the digital
economy," said Adaire Fox-Martin, President, SAP Asia Pacific Japan
