DSSC Review Structure
DSSC will present recent progress on HDD Technology (Day 1) and Nonvolatile Memory Technology (Day 2). The review will consist of two half-days of presentation. Our presentation on HDD research on Tuesday AM will feature work on HAMR media, heads and systems. Our presentations on Non-volatile Memory Systems on Wednesday AM will feature work on MRAM and RRAM and associated systems. Presentation and discussion will last through early afternoon on both days, with time for poster and informal discussion over lunch.
Register: Online registration is now available.
