High-Density, High-Performance Integrated, Multi-Chip Memory Solutions
Austin Semiconductor
In 2006, Austin Semiconductor answered the challenge with the iPEM product line. This new product family definition was based on a 32mm x 25mm, 255 ball BGA with a ball pitch of 1.27mm. This product was defined with DDR2 as the basis for the product family electro-mechanical interconnect, facilitating backward compatibility architecture wise and backward as well as forward density migration for all family architecture members.

Data-Oriented Architecture: A Loosely-Coupled Real-Time SOA
Real-Time Innovations
As more devices and systems get woven into the fabric of our networked world, the scale and the complexity of integration is growing at a rapid pace. Our existing methodologies and training for system software design, rooted in principles of object-oriented design, that worked superbly for small scale systems begin to break down as we discover operational limits which requires frequent and unintended redesigns in programs year over year. Fundamentally, object-oriented thinking leads us to think in terms of tightly-coupled interactions that include strong state assumptions. Large scale distributed systems are often a mix of subsystems created by independent parties, often using different middleware technologies, with misaligned interfaces. Integrating such sub-systems using object-oriented thinking poses some fundamental challenges.
