Using NVDIMM as Storage, In-Memory Database Gains Durability & Keeps High Performance

Issaquah, WA —  October 8, 2013 — In the industry’s first test of in-memory database system (IMDS) speed and recoverability using the emerging Non-Volatile DIMM (NVDIMM) technology, McObject® and AgigA Tech, a subsidiary of Cypress Semiconductor Corp. (NASDAQ: CY), announced McObject has successfully benchmarked its eXtremeDB® IMDS using AgigA Tech’s AGIGARAM® NVDIMM as main memory storage. The tests included “pulling the plug” mid-execution, which confirmed the AGIGARAM product’s ability to save data persistently in the event of system failure, and to facilitate recovery.

Analog MEMS accelerometer suits engine anti-vibration and electrically controlled suspension applications

Hoofddorp, Netherlands: Murata today announced the SCA720 series of analog MEMS accelerometers aimed specifically at electrically controlled suspension and engine anti-vibration applications. Measuring only 7.0 x 8.6 z 3.3 mm and constructed from a single crystal silicon, the sensor is mechanically robust and has no deformation up to 70 000g. The accelerometer’s 3D structure employs capacitive sensing techniques that give it extremely sensitive measurement characteristics and excellent offset stability. Internal inert gas damping of the MEMS sensing element provides a mechanical low-pass filter that cuts off above 115 Hz and provide a good stable amplitude output and noise filtering.
