AI Demand for DRAM Pushing RAS Boundaries

DRAM failures are one of the most common causes of server downtime, notorious for severely impacting system reliability, availability and serviceability (RAS). While the AI era continues to significantly accelerate the demand for DRAM, the increased capacity, speed and density required makes DRAM even more vulnerable.

The Solution: Vendor-Specific DRAM RAS Services for BMCs

Since the introduction of DDR5, several new technologies have been introduced to improve the resilience of DRAM modules. To synergize all these innovative technologies and maximize their benefits to data centers, Vendor-Specific DRAM RAS Service for BMCs can connect the dots – from error data collection to RAS actions, on-die ECC on DRAM modules to system platform RAS features – and fully leverage their individual contributions.

DDR5 modules are well-trained and optimized for modern server platforms, but a generic OS designed for multiple architectures, platforms and vendors has a limited ability to capture all the details about the DRAM modules installed in a server. In contrast, DRAM RAS services on the BMC are designed specifically for the platform and can intelligently adapt to the optimized configuration of both the DRAM and server platform.

A Powerful, Turn-key Solution for End Users

In this way, these new Vendor-Specific DRAM RAS Services – also known as Memory Resilience Technology (MRT) – for BMCs provide a turn-key solution for end users, significantly shortening deployment time. After deployment, end users can get more detailed insights into DRAM errors, spare the memory faults automatically and mitigate the impact of uncorrectable memory errors, to improve data center SLAs.

“Working with AMI to successfully introduce Vendor-Specific DRAM RAS Services for the MegaRAC BMC Manageability Solution from AMI is in full alignment with our goal of offering customized solutions to our diverse global customers in the era of full-scale AI. We are excited for the great potential of this new technology to make AI server DRAM modules more reliable and predictable,” commented Haekang Jung, Head of Application Engineering Technology Development, Vice President from SK hynix.

“This has been an important and engaging project for us, and the positive feedback we have received through testing has validated our collective vision for providing Vendor-Specific DRAM RAS Services on the BMC, as well as the reliability and performance gains for the industry that we wish to see,” added Eric Chen, Vice President of Giga Computing.

“Driving innovations founded in our firmware expertise that expand the reliability, performance and sustainability of the AI data centers of the future is a core mission at AMI. We are grateful to the opportunity to work with SK hynix and Giga Computing on this important project and are confident that this new development of Vendor-Specific DRAM RAS services for BMCs will have a tremendous impact,” said Anura Bhatia, General Manager, Manageability Firmware Group at AMI.
