By Joseph F. Kovar, CRN. Everspin, of Chandler, Ariz., moved to shake up the memory market when it demonstrated what it called the world's first commercially-available Spin Torque MRAM (ST-MRAM). Unlike conventional memory, where electrons are moved in a circuit to indicate a bit value of 0 or 1, ST-MRAM adjusts the actual spin of the electrons to increase performance while remain non-volatile. Everspin worked with Altera and Mobiveil to demonstrate a PCIe-based storage system featuring low latency and high endurance, and with SMART Modular Technologies to demonstrate DDR3 non-volatile DIMM using ST-MRAM.
