Denali Software and Qimonda, market leaders in their respective areas of LP DRAM controller design and Low Power DRAM technologies and solutions, have launched an informative 3-part webcast series

that can be found on the Denali website (http://www.denali.com/webcast/lpdram/ ) beginning today.

The first webcast, “LP DRAM Market Status: Consumer Wireless Driving Change” is now available. In this kick-off presentation, Lane Mason, Denali's Memory Market analyst, discusses the power-sensitive products marketplace and industry's LP and Mobile DDR DRAM solutions. On October 9, Tom Trill and JM Sung, senior members of Qimonda's marketing team, will present a webcast, "Power: From a Memory Perspective" that will discuss of the breadth of the emergent 'power' challenge, and then focus on the particular technologies and methodologies the industry has adopted to meet the mobile challenge, in terms of LP DRAM features, functionality, plus today's and tomorrow's Low Power product roadmap. Part 3 will be available on October 16, and will feature a presentation by Denali's Databahn product marketing team, Marc Greenburg, who will discuss his system design experiences and discuss tools and methods to implement an LP DRAM controller and PHY solution in a low power system environment.

On 21 February, Denali is hosting the first of a two-part Webcast series in which Intel technical experts discuss a wide array of NVM (Non-volatile Memory) products, design issues, technical challenges and solutions. Greg Komoto and Ravi Annavajjhala will let listeners know about Intel’s current and upcoming broad NVM portfolio of NVM products (SLC and MLC NAND, NOR and new Alternative Memory Technologies), and share their experiences in integrating these memories into advanced system designs.

Denali has been hosting a three-part MLC NAND flash market, technology and design webcast series, and Part 3 will be aired tomorrow on the Denali Website:
http://www.denali.com/webcast/nandflash/

Part I, which gives a general NAND Market Overview, aired on February 13 and was presented by Lane Mason, Denali’s Memory Market Analyst. Part 2 aired on February 20, was presented by Jim Cooke of Micron Technology, and went into great detail about MLC NAND flash technology, wear leveling, bad block mapping and the necessary use of ECC. Both these webcasts are still available on the Denali website.

On February 27, this Tuesday, Robert Pierce, Senior Director, Flash Products, Denali Software, Inc., will present Part 3 of the three-part Denali-Micron MLC NAND flash market, technology and designers solutions webcast series. His presentation is entitled "Hardware and Software Solutions for MLC NAND System Design”. This webcast provides hardware designers and software developers with advanced solutions for enabling efficient transition to MLC NAND architectures. The presentation features flash management software and MLC NAND controller design, with a particular focus on MLC NAND data integrity issues.

Denali has posted a webcast on its website, https://www.denali.com/webcasts "NAND Flash: A Different Kind of Product and a Different Kind of Marketplace". In this 40-minute webcast, Lane Mason, Denali's Memory Market Analyst, discusses several of the almost unique characteristics of the rapidly growing and changing NAND flash market,

which has in just 6 years moved to the forefront of the semiconductor memory market in terms of low price per MB, exceedingly high volume shipments, massive industry investment in manufacturing facilities, and widespread usage in many consumer products for code, data and media file storage. All this has happened despite the lack of cleanly-defined standards in device operation, a chaos of product roadmaps and specs on both the NAND product side and on the applications side, plummeting prices which promise to open up new markets and push aside existing 'media storage' technologies and pioneer new consumer products requiring low cost solid state storage solutions. The NAND flash market, in all its dimensions, could not be more different from the industry's predecessor...PC DRAMs...in terms of high-volume commodity memory for process driving, adherence to strong industry standards, business models, and various other features of the marketplace and NAND industry practices. Tune in to this webcast and hear more about how Denali sees the NAND flash promise...price and performance... and its challenges for the industry in the few years ahead.
