Problem
SRAM, traditionally used in high-performance applications like AI inference and data centers, suffers from high leakage power and large area requirements, leading to increased operational costs and space constraints. Existing non-volatile memory solutions often lack the speed and endurance required for these demanding applications.
Solution
Numem develops NuRAM and SmartMem SOC subsystem IPs that leverage MRAM technology to deliver high-performance memory solutions with significantly reduced power consumption and area compared to traditional SRAM. NuRAM, based on standard MRAM production processes, achieves best-in-class power efficiency, performance, and reliability. SmartMem SOC subsystems further enhance MRAM performance and endurance through adaptive memory management and optional customizable SOC Compute in Memory. These technologies enable SRAM-like performance with significantly lower leakage power, addressing the critical need for efficient memory solutions in power-sensitive and space-constrained environments.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes designers and manufacturers of AI inference hardware, data center servers, automotive AI systems, and IoT/wearable devices seeking low-power, high-performance memory solutions.
