Teknologidag med fokus på MRAM-hukommelser

Som en 'satellit-konference' til IEDM afvikles den 12. december det såkaldte '2024 MRAM Global Innovation Forum', der fokuserer på de seneste udviklingstendenser på MRAM-området (in english)

Now in its 12th year, the MRAM Global Innovation Forum is the industry's premier platform that brings together leading magnetics experts, researchers, and industry professionals to share the latest advancements in Magnetoresistive Random Access Memory (MRAM) technology. The annual one-day event will be held the day after the IEEE International Electron Devices Meeting (IEDM) on December 12, 2024 from 8:45am to 6pm at the Hilton San Francisco Union Square hotel's Imperial Ballroom A/B.

MRAM technology, a type of non-volatile memory, is known for its high speed, endurance, scalability, low power consumption and radiation hardness. Unlike conventional memory technologies, data in MRAM devices is stored by magnetic storage elements instead of electric charge. MRAM technology has gained momentum as a solution for embedded memory applications, in areas such as automotive microcontrollers, sensors, aerospace, data centers, wearable devices, and more recently in edge AI devices.

The 2024 MRAM technical program consists of 10 invited presentations from leading global MRAM experts, and an evening panel.

- Since the very first MRAM Global Innovation Forum took place in 2013, MRAM technology has advanced from an initial development stage to where it is now being used in a growing number of applications, ranging from wearables to automotive microcontroller units. Major foundries and memory developers are now disclosing exciting MRAM scaling roadmaps for cache and DRAM-like use cases, which will be discussed in this year's forum, says Kévin Garello, MRAM Forum co-chair and senior research development scientist at SPINTEC.

- The MRAM market is expected to grow by double digits over the next few years. Making that growth possible are the contributions of the world's MRAM experts who gather each year at the MRAM Forum to advance the state-of-the-art in this increasingly vital technology, says Daniel Worledge, MRAM Forum co-chair and senior manager, MRAM at IBM.
