Cloud systems play an important role in supporting various societal infrastructure systems and must be able to continuously deliver services without interruption. Even in the event that a failure does occur, services must not be interrupted. Through Fujitsu's new technology, it is possible to address cloud system failures before they occur. Furthermore, because failures can be automatically resolved, the technology reduces the workload of administrators and delivers cloud services that users can utilize with confidence.
12 February 2010 Japan: Fujitsu Develops A/D Converter with World's Highest Power Efficiency in Its Class
Kawasaki, Japan, February 12, 2010 – Fujitsu Laboratories Ltd. today announced the development of a successive-approximation-register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter (A/D converter) that detects variations in electronic characteristics and automatically compensates for them, achieving performance on par with existing pipelined A/D converters, while reducing both the size and power consumption to one-tenth (1/10) that of previously-developed A/D converters. A/D converters often account for a large share of the total power consumed by digital equipment, and previous efforts to reduce their power demands had been challenging. Fujitsu's new technology will pave the way for system LSI devices for mobile phones and digital devices that will be smaller and more power-efficient, thus contributing to reducing the environmental burden attributable to such devices.
10 February 2010 Canada and Japan: Fujitsu and University of Toronto Develop High-Reliability Read-Method for Spin-Torque-Transfer MRAM, Next-Generation Non-Volatile Memory
Kawasaki, Japan and Toronto, Canada, February 10, 2010 – Fujitsu Laboratories Limited and the University of Toronto today announced that they have jointly developed the world's first high-reliability read-method for use with spin-torque-transfer (STT) MRAM that is insusceptible to erroneous writes.

NOR flash memory that is embedded in microcontrollers widely used in mobile phones and other electronic devices is expected to reach the limits of its feasible miniaturization in the near future, which has led to the search for an alternative low-power non-volatile memory that will allow continued necessary miniaturization. By resolving one of the major obstacles to using STT MRAM, Fujitsu and the University of Toronto's new read-method marks a major step towards the practical implementation of STT MRAM as a necessary replacement for flash memory, in view of future requirements that will be necessary for compact and low-power electronic devices.
10 February 2010 Canada and Japan: Fujitsu and University of Toronto Develop World's First Digitally-Processed Gigabit-Class High-Speed Transceiver Chip
Kawasaki, Japan and Toronto, Canada, February 10, 2010 – Fujitsu Laboratories Ltd. and the University of Toronto today announced their joint development of a new processing method for transceiver chips used in gigabit-class high-speed data transmission over wirelines. The new technology employs digital circuitry to replace previously-required structures that used analog circuits. While analog processing require circuits that are adapted to the specifications of a signal being transmitted, such as transmission distance and amplitude, this new digital approach can perform these optimizations automatically, so that a single circuit could be used to accommodate a wide range of various wireline communications. Compared to conventional processing methods, this new digital-processing method makes it possible to shorten development periods by approximately half. It is anticipated that this new technology in the future could be applied to a variety of wireline communication applications, including 10 Gbps high-speed Ethernet in datacenters.
