Definitions

Initialism of reduced latency dynamic random access memory.

abbreviation, alt-of, countable, initialism, uncountable

Examples

“A single 32 MByte RLDRAM and its controller has enough throughput to support⟳ many PEs possibly up to 20 if some wait⟳ states are accepted. Bank collisions are mostly avoided by the MMU hashing policy. There are several Virtex-II-Pro boards with RLDRAM on board⟳ which can clock the RLDRAM at 300 MHz with DDR I/O, well below the 400 MHz specification, but the access latency is still 20 ns or 8 clocks.”

“An example of this is evident in reduced latency DRAMs (RLDRAMs). Figure⟳ 8.11 shows a typical Read⟳ operation for an RLDRAM. A row activation cycle with Read⟳ and Precharge takes less than 15 ns from start⟳ to finish⟳, as shown. These devices are built to serve⟳ applications that previously resorted to using SRAM. RLDRAMs have⟳ a traditional SRAM broadside address interface but are otherwise DRAMs built for low cycle times and low Read⟳ latency.”

“The first-generation RLDRAM device was designed by Infineon to meet⟳ the demands of the market for networking equipment. Subsequently, Micron was brought in as a partner to co-develop RLDRAM and provide⟳ a second source. However, Infineon has since abandoned RLDRAM development, and Micron proceeded ahead to develop⟳ the second-generation RLDRAM II. RLDRAM and RLDRAM II were designed for use⟳ in embedded applications.”
