NTU Singapore and GLOBALFOUNDRIES Singapore to jointly explore next-gen memory technology
Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) and GLOBALFOUNDRIES® (GF®) will be jointly exploring the next-generation of embedded memory for smart systems.
The joint partnership between NTU Singapore, GLOBALFOUNDRIES Singapore (GF Singapore), and the National Research Foundation Singapore (NRF) will drive the advancement of a new resistive random access memory, also known as ReRAM.
Compared to conventional RAMs, ReRAM has faster read-write speeds with lower power consumption, crucial for ultra-low power applications in the Internet of Things (IoT). ReRAM also has the potential for a higher memory density, allowing more data to be stored in a smaller physical space, higher performance in reading and writing of data, better energy efficiency for sustainability, and lower production costs.
The event to affirm the partnership between NTU and GF Singapore was witnessed by Singapore’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance Mr Heng Swee Keat, who is also Chairman of NRF.
