Abstract :
A proprietary scheme for a unified memory system that covers all design aspects to ensure fast display and quick computation is presented. This device replaces extant memory types and their interconnects with unique DRAMs, a high-performance, chip-to-chip interface, and a high speed channel. It delivers a byte of data every 2 ns for a block of information up to 256 bytes long. The features and performance of this DRAM are described.<>
