Netlist - NLST

I was out of the office for most of the day Friday but came back this weekend to see that Netlist, Inc (NLST) went up another 100%. What is most important is the heavy volume on the upside in the final hour of trading.

I don't own this stock but keep an eye on it for Monday, I am expecting a gap higher in pre market and possibly more upside. Check out the news last week..... Also, they will be at a tradeshow all next week in Portland, Oregon.

Netlist Launches World's First 16GB, 2 Virtual Rank Memory Module

New memory module, HyperCloud, enables 384GB of DRAM in a dual socket server

Netlist, Inc. (Nasdaq: NLST), a designer and manufacturer of high-performance memory subsystems, today launches HyperCloud(TM), the world's first 16GB, 2 virtual rank (vRank) memory module for servers. A double-data-rate three, registered dual in-line memory module (DDR3 RDIMM), HyperCloud maximizes server utilization to improve datacenter application performance. HyperCloud allows 384 Gigabytes (GB) of dynamic random access memory (DRAM) to be populated in a single dual socket server, reaching unprecedented levels of server performance.

HyperCloud utilizes Netlist's patented rank multiplication ASIC technology to fully populate three memory channels with 16GB vRank RDIMMs. Four physical ranks are hidden from the memory controller hub and presented as 2 vRanks. Dual socket servers can then be fully populated with 24 16GB 2 vRank RDIMMs reaching a total capacity of 384GB.

Netlist Ramps Up For HyperCloud

Channel: Servers & Storage

Beginning early 2010, Netlist will offer a new RDIMM technology that will double the per-CPU memory capacity to 384GB while costing far less than double the spot price of RAM. Netlist was demonstrating the new 16GB DDR3 RDIMM parts at the Supercomputing 09 conference last week in Oregon. Samples are due next month, and it ships in production quantities in the first quarter of 2010.

Dubbed HyperCloud, the new RDIMMs employ proprietary logic that appears to the CPU as the maximum two physical ranks of memory but actually contains four. This "virtual ranking" allows dual socket servers to be populated with as many as 24 of the company's 16GB RDIMMs, for a total capacity of 384GB. According to Paul Duran, director of business development for Netlist, "Those four ranks now look like two ranks to the memory controller. So we can populate four physical ranks or eight virtual ranks per channel." HyperCloud Memory will be available in 4GB, 8GB and 16GB models.

In addition to capacity gains, Duran said that vRank also pays a performance dividend. "The CPU is tricked into thinking it has a single load, therefore it will run at 1,333 [million transfers per second] when you have four DIMMs populated per channel." In today's systems, the CPU supports 1333 MT/s only when populated with one DIMM per channel, he said. With two, it decreases to 1067 MT/s and with three it drops to 800. For systems that are maxed out "that means poor application performance in memory-intensive applications."

Netlist claims that HyperCloud RDIMMs require no bios changes and are interoperable with standard JEDEC RDIMMs, even when they are installed on the same channel. "They are essentially plug-and-play with the JEDEC standard with no issues," Duran said. The trickery is accomplished with two ASICs plus a register device with rank multiplication logic inside. Isolation circuits between each DRAM and the bus connector provide the load reduction.

What's to stop people from viewing HyperCloud as some substandard flash-in-the-pan? "Sure there's skepticism out there, but the skepticism goes away when [people] see that you can plug our DIMM in any standard server and it will work. There's nothing special required. It's all within the chip and plugs into any standard server off the shelf." As for the price, "we have to buy the same DRAM as everybody else, but we believe we can charge a 20 percent premium for this technology." Exact prices were not disclosed.; ▶ Reply to This

Permalink Reply by Pedro Gonzales on November 28, 2009 at 7:50am: Seth, in the stock market history repeats itself and everything that goes up must (at some point) come down. The speed of coming down depends on how much pumping was done for the respective stock. NLST has been going up the entire past week, so probably its time to come down, or at least consolidate.; ▶ Reply to This

You have to remember, NLST was $1 three weeks ago....now $6. At some point, holders will take profits; ▶ Reply to This
