DRAMSys4.0 is a fast and flexible open-source simulation framework for Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM). The framework is being developed together with the Technical University of Kaiserslautern (chair for Microelectronic Systems Design) and Fraunhofer IESE. As a technology leader in memory systems, U.S. technology company Rambus understands and appreciates the critical importance of using virtual prototypes and models for the development of innovations, and licensed the Fraunhofer framework for their internal memory systems research projects. Rambus gets access to the research branch of the DRAMSys tool, which enables the simulation of state-of-the-art memory technology. For the academic partners, the collaboration with Rambus provides valuable feedback on market demands and will thus lead to further enhancement of the DRAMSys infrastructure in terms of broader applicability in industry. In 2021, the European research network HiPEAC bestowed the prestigious Tech Transfer Award on the DRAMSys team led by Dr. Matthias Jung for their work on DRAMSys4.0 as well as the resulting technology transfer.
