LRDIMM Info Revealed
Load reduced DIMMs (LRDIMMs) are a new class of memory modules. Designed with a memory buffer chip to replace the register to help minimize loading, LRDIMMs increase server memory capacity by 3x at higher speeds for HPC, virtualization and in-memory database applications.

LRDIMMs for the Cost Sensitive

By Victor Cai on 08-23-2011 at 2:06 PM

I hope everyone has been enjoying these LRDIMM posts. Today, I would like to introduce everyone to a new class of DIMM that is made possible by the iMB. These modules open the possibility to design large nonstandard size DIMM while taking advantage of lower cost DRAM components. Calculations show around 20% cost advantage over traditional LRDIMM. Significant shipped volumes of server today are larger 2U and 5U system. Cost is a major driving factor on these sales, so this large DIMM design becomes very attractive when customers are looking at cost and performance. Thermal management also improves because of larger surface area for heat dissipation removes the need for heat sink. Not everyone can take advantage of this module but for those individuals that can, it provides a big opportunity to build large capacity systems at an affordable price.
