Dennard invented Dynamic Random Access Memory, or DRAM, the memory used in virtually all computers today. Dennard followed in the mid-1970s with a groundbreaking paper describing how to keep shrinking transistors to build smaller, faster and less expensive chips. For those achievements, Dennard, who celebrated his 51st year as an IBM employee this week, will receive a Medal of Honor from the Institute of Electrical Engineers next Thursday. http://www.itworld.com/hardware/69494/drams-inventor-76-still-going-strong-ibm#comments Hardware News DRAM IBM Thu, 18 Jun 2009 21:27:04 -0400 ITworld staff 69494 at http://www.itworld.com
