NplusT is participating in the 2nd open call for Value Chain Oriented and Interdisciplinary Technology Transfer Experiments in the framework of TETRAMAX, the #1 innovation hub for digitizing European industries in the domain of customized and low-energy computing (CLEC).
Tamas Kerekes presented the technology transfer project “HS-CHAR: High Speed Characterization of Mass Storage Devices”, which is being developed together with PCB Design, during the annual TETRAMAX Partners Meeting, held in Aachen on September 26.
TETRAMAX is proving to be a very efficient vehicle to promote small size projects, as Tamas said:
“Let me share you about my experience and consideration about the TETRAMAX projects and in particular about the call related to the bilateral technology transfer.
My company is a small SME working in the semiconductor/electronics industry. We spend more than half of our engineering resources on R&D. Even so, we cannot develop all technology we need by ourselves and we need to access technology of others. Contributions of national and EU funding are extremely useful to support our business growth. There are many calls and opportunities. On the other hand, we don’t have all resources to monitor and select the calls, even less to write many applications (a typical Sunday night task). So we need to focus on the opportunities where either: 1) the success rate is very good and the funded amount is high or: 2) the preparation of the application requires a reasonable amount of work. In both cases, the fast turnaround time (from application to final reporting and cashing) has to be short.
From this point of view, I consider TETRAMAX our best experience:
I warmly suggest TETRAMAX to other SMEs and I hope it will be a long success story!”
NplusT and JWILL have taken part to the 2019 edition of SEDEX, in Seoul. The show is one of the biggest events for the semiconductor industry worldwide, covering the fullspectrum of the memory supply chain and showcasing the latest advancements to more than 13000 visitors over three days.
“SEDEX has been a great opportunity to introduce our NAND characterization and memory test solutions to South Korea’s industry professionals” states Tamás Kerekes, President and CEO of NplusT. “The country is one of the main global innovation hubs and a strategic market for our products. We look forward to strengthening our partnership with JWILL and provide our technology to Korea’s key industry players and research centers.”
“The global network of NplusT has been recently expanded by signing a cooperation agreement with APMD Solutions. Our goal is to boost sales and customer support in the US market. The fast growing need for storage devices, driven by industrial, automotive and AI applications, offer an exceptional opportunity for our NAND characterization and testing technology” declares NplusT’s President and CEO Tamas Kerekes.
“APMD Solutions’ huge domain-specific experience is the right basis to increase our presence in America. We look forward to cooperating with APMD to bring additional support for our US Customers”.
NplusT has taken part in the 2019 edition of Flash Memory Summit in Santa Clara, California, the leading event for non-volatile memory and storage.
NplusT introduced the new version of NanoCycler which supports NAND characterization at 800 MT/sec and presented additional products and services helping SSD and other storage device makers obtain fast time-to-market.
Tamas Kerekes, President and CEO of NplusT, also tackled the reasons why NAND characterization at high speed is essential to building efficient and reliable SSD devices during his speech “Characterizing NAND Devices at High Speed – Why and How?”.
The presentation is available for download via this link.
NAND characterization is essential to understand features and behaviors of the latest components. It enables you to fine-tune the device management algorithms and the error correction strategy, to obtain the target performance and reliability of your SSD or other storage system.
Our NanoCycler – especially developed for NAND characterization, embedding dozens of years of experience and supported by a team of experts – provides a cost-effective, easy-to-use, flexible environment, matching the characterization requirements of the latest generation of NAND devices (3D, QLC, 1.2GT/sec) and it is extendible for other emerging technologies like X3D, MRAM, …

The new version of NanoCycler, beyond pushing up the highest transfer speed to 800 MT/sec, provides additional features like Vpp management and thermal protection. First units are shipped from July 2019. The new tester unit is fully software compatible with the previous release.
The MOCCA 2018 (“MOst Creative Customer Award”) has been assigned to the GAMAX team, appreciating more than ten years of intense cooperation in the software development arena. GAMAX provides a continuous support – based on outstanding knowledge and on innovative technology – and many of NplusT products embed GAMAX code. From 2018, GAMAX is also using NplusT array data analysis software tools which, integrated with MATLAB, opens the gate to new applications on regular structures.
Tamás Kerekes, President and CEO of NplusT:“GAMAX is the ideal partner in co-development of our software. Their quality and reaction time when support is needed is excellent. I am particularly pleased about GAMAX innovative attitude and the way they introduce new technologies without raising the risk factor. Last year we worked with GAMAX also in the opposite way, transferring our array data analysis technology to them and I can say this was the fastest and most efficient introduction of the toolset since we market it.”
Géza Homonnay, Managing Director of GAMAX: “We are proud to receive this MOCCA award from one of our most important partners, showing our ability to fulfill interesting challenges. We have been active in software development and other software related activities during the last 30 years. Having received similar acknowledgement from Microsoft for software localization, from Oracle for software consulting and from MathWorks for software distribution, we will be strengthening our efforts to serve our valued partners the best possible way.”
NplusT signed a business development agreement with JWILL Technology. JWILL is going to distribute NplusT products and services in Korea. This collaboration is meant to help NplusT to extend its market and supply leading edge memory test and characterization solutions to Korean memory and storage device maker companies.
NplusT took part in the TETRAMAX poster session held at the 2020 edition of HiPEAC, the main European forum for experts in computer architecture, programming models, compilers and operating systems for embedded and general-purpose systems, attracting over 500 delegates each year.
The poster session showcased the projects funded in the framework of the European “Smart Anything Everywhere (SAE)” initiative, in the domain of customized low energy computing (CLEC) for CPS and the IoT, including the “HS-CHAR: High Speed Characterization of Mass Storage Devices” technology transfer project carried out by NplusT and PCB Design and devilered in December 2019.
The results of the “HSCHAR” project contributed to upgrade NplusT’s technology for NAND characterization, paving the way for the forthcoming release of NanoCycler High Speed, the best-in-class and most cost effective solution for the exploration of the NAND memories.
