Computer Systems Research at UC Davis

The mission of the Computer Systems Research organization is to form a community dedicated to Computer Systems research. Every week, we will invite faculty, students, and guests to present interesting Computer Systems research. If you are interested in giving a talk or presenting a paper, please contact the current administrator. The purpose of this seminar is to provide an open opportunity to advertise, present, and discuss Computer Systems research among students and faculty.

Topic: Emerging Challenges for Future Memory Systems

Speaker: Steven Woo

Abstract: Across all markets, computing systems are being driven to achieve higher performance in the face of rising power, cost, and reliability challenges. These systems are increasingly reliant on their DRAM memory, one of the semiconductor industry’s foundational components, to achieve system performance and power-efficiency targets. As the industry looks towards the future, increasing DRAM and memory systems performance is becoming more difficult as new reliability challenges emerge. In this talk I’ll describe some of our research work on RowHammer for server memory systems, and some of the key challenges future DRAMs and memory systems face in AI systems as data rates increase.

Bio:  Steven Woo is a Fellow and Distinguished Inventor at Rambus Inc., working on technology and business development efforts across the company. He currently leads research within Rambus Labs on advanced memory systems for accelerators and computing infrastructure, and manages a team of senior architects. Since joining Rambus, Steve has worked in various roles leading architecture, technology, and performance analysis efforts, and in marketing and product planning roles leading strategy and customer programs. Steve received his PhD and MS degrees in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University, and Master of Engineering and BS Engineering degrees from Harvey Mudd College.
