更新:去年,我们庆祝了动态随机存取记忆体发明55周年. 今天, 庆祝成立56周年, we reflect on technological advancements that the invention spurred and honor the 内存 and lasting influence of Mr. Dennard. 

沙巴体育安卓版下载罗伯特·登纳德

罗伯特Dennard, 一位有影响力的美国电气工程师, invented the one-transistor 内存 cell for dynamic random-access 内存 (动态随机存取记忆体) in 1966. 他的工作奠定了现代电子存储器的基础. Dennard还贡献了MOSFET的缩放定律,也被称为 Dennard扩展, critical for integrated circuit miniaturization and performance enhancement. He received prestigious awards, including the IEEE Medal of Honor and the Kyoto Prize. 登纳德于2024年4月去世,享年91岁, 在电气工程和计算机技术方面留下了宝贵的遗产.

1966年是很久以前的事了. 披头士乐队发行了《沙巴体育结算平台》. 无. 第一部电影是 好,坏,丑. 而计算机,就像它们一样,涉及纸带和穿孔读卡器.

同年,罗伯特Dennard发明了动态随机存取存储器(动态随机存取记忆体)。. Two years later — 55 years ago —on June 4, 1968, the 动态随机存取记忆体 patent was granted. 剩下的就是历史了.

开发技术, Dennard led a re搜索 team at IBM that experimented with binary data on a capacitor as a positive or negative charge. 因为电容器漏了电荷, Dennard invented a platform where everything was handled by a single transistor, 大大减小了尺寸.

随机存取存储器(RAM), 使用临时存储器, 在当时被广泛使用, 但是很复杂, 体积庞大,耗电巨大. 大型磁存储系统需要房间大小的设备, 而存储的信息只有1兆字节. Dennard’s idea was to shrink the next generation of magnetic 内存 to a 25-centimeter square. 诀窍是将RAM压缩成一个晶体管. 突然之间,一台计算机可以在一个芯片上容纳10亿个RAM单元.

第一个内存芯片1103于1970年发布. 两年后, it bypassed magnetic core 内存 and became the best-selling semiconductor 内存 chip in the world. 到20世纪70年代中期,这已成为标准.

在一个 最近的IBM致敬 对Dennard, they describe the shock waves from the discovery: “Over the next five-and-a-half decades 动态随机存取记忆体 would, 一代又一代, 进化...动态随机存取记忆体存储器不仅扫除了早期的磁性技术, it became the foundational technology for an industry that has reshaped human society — from the way we work, 我们娱乐自己的方式,甚至我们打仗的方式.”

今天, 动态随机存取记忆体组件 以及各种技术(如DDR)中的模块, LPDDR, GDDR, HBM)和外形因素(组件), UDIMMs, SODIMM, RDIMM等.) are pervasive from smartphones to cloud 服务器, powering the global economy.

我们都很熟悉 摩尔定律,登纳德缩放 takes that concept into a deeper technical meaning — the idea that with each generation, 你可以把晶体管的面积缩小一半, 同时将工作频率(时钟速度)提高40%. 除了, transistors would become cheaper and more numerous in a given space yet keep power consumption constant (for twice the number of transistors).

登纳德甚至看到了摩尔定律和登纳德缩放定律的最终终结. IBM同事, 拉斯•兰格, remembers it 清晰的ly: “Bob and I would always have lively discussions about whether there was going to be an end to the scaling. 他会说,‘是的,缩放是有终结的. 但是创造力是没有尽头的.’”

By 1981, 微米 exploded onto the 动态随机存取记忆体 landscape, shipping the first 64K 动态随机存取记忆体 product. 这是我们在动态随机存取记忆体和NAND领域强大领导地位的诞生. 三年后,我们发布了世界上最小的256K 动态随机存取记忆体沙巴体育结算平台, 1987年出现了1mb的动态随机存取记忆体.

Gurtej Sandhu,多领域发明家,IEEE. 格罗夫奖得主及高级. 研究员,在美光技术探路, 回想起动态随机存取记忆体的早期创新时代, “大约15年前,当我访问IBM沃森中心时, 主人带我去了登纳德的办公室. The office was kept open for visitors and in full working order and I was told that Dennard, 谁几年前退休了, 我还是每周来几小时. 讽刺的是,当时他发明了动态随机存取记忆体, there was more attention given to it by Intel which was looking for a lower cost replacement for SRAM. Lowering the cost of bits was critical to grow the capabilities of computer systems and Intel went to great lengths to design their processor chip to manage 动态随机存取记忆体 refresh and customize a system level architecture which established 动态随机存取记忆体 as an integral part of the modern computing revolution.”

Sandhu补充道, “It is a lesson in history we should not forget as we embark on finding 内存 technology solutions of the future. A successful 内存 technology implementation will always require a system level approach to design computer architecture and software around it to extract the most benefits for the end customer.”

按照登纳德缩放法,动态随机存取记忆体一直在变得越来越小、越来越快. By 2002, 微米 was demonstrating the world’s first 1 gigabit DDR (Double Data Rate) 动态随机存取记忆体 product. 多年来, 我们继续引领动态随机存取记忆体创新, 从早期的PC 动态随机存取记忆体, 对图形, 到目前汽车专用内存的爆炸式增长, IoT(物联网)和AI(人工智能)设备.
