Mirabilis Design Inc. announced the release of the VisualSim Memory modeling library. This library contains all current and prior versions of DDR, LPDDR, HBM, SRAM, JEDEC-complaint memory controller and a generic memory controller. 
VisualSim Memory can be used with VisualSim resource, behavior and cycle-accurate modeling libraries to construct models, simulate and analyze the complete system or SoC.  This library is used to validate proposal, conduct trade-off decisions, timing, throughput, arbitration algorithm, power consumption analysis, and study systems behavior with different configuration (single vs. dual channels, clock speed variations, addressing schemes, and controller algorithms).
VisualSim Memory Modeling Library is available now and pricing starts at $5,000 in United States. This library requires VisualSim Architect to construct models and simulate. The product is supported on Windows, Linux and Mac OS/X.

InfoVista, a provider of network performance orchestration solutions, announced that the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA), a combat support agency within the United States Department of Defense (DoD), has chosen InfoVista’s end-to-end network performance management solution to help modernize DISA’s Joint Information Environment’s (JIE) Joint Regional Security Stacks (JRSS).
Once the initiative is complete, the JRSS system will help support a virtual private network (VPN) using InfoVista’s service assurance platform. This VPN will be capable of Multiprotocol Label Switched (MPLS) service that allows Joint Router-Customer Edge (JR-CE) and Joint Base-Customer Edge (JB-CE) routers to function on a single MPLS domain. As a result, sensitive JRSS traffic flows will be more easily monitored by parties using the Defense Information Systems Network (DISN).
Along with improving the efficiency of DISA VPNs, the JRSS installation will also help make networks and the data transferred over them more secure. InfoVista network performance management will speed up latency between these security stacks, allowing potential malware to be quickly recognized and patched to defend the VPN and protect sensitive DoD information.

VocalZoom, a supplier of Human-to-Machine Communication (HMC) optical sensors that enable voice-control, announced it has signed an agreement with iFLYTEK to combine and test the performance of VocalZoom’s optical HMC sensor with iFLYTEK’s Voice Cloud intelligent speech technology platform.  Initial results show that the ASR performance of iFLYTEK’s platform can be improved an average of 50 percent, and even more in noisy environments, by adding VocalZoom sensors to user headsets and automotive infotainment solutions.

Nokia announced that it will incorporate Open Compute Project (OCP) designs into its AirFrame Data Center Portfolio. AirFrame is inspired by OCP to offer greater efficiency, density, cooling and power usage effectiveness. These characteristics will significantly lower the cost of operations and enable enhanced serviceability, while delivering carrier-grade quality on an open IT platform.
OCP-based variants for computing, network and storage will be developed in line with OCP specifications, but taking into account the specific needs of the telco domain such as regulatory requirements, Direct Current (DC) power feeding and electromagnetic shielding. Nokia is also planning to become an OCP solution provider with the ability to offer a full end-to-end data center solution for telco, IT and enterprise customers, with cloud wise services supporting design and deployment.
The OCP-based variants will complement the already available AirFrame rackmount servers launched in June 2015, offering complete flexibility, scalability and reliability for smaller and more distributed data center deployments.
