  Ripple Effects: Why Water Risk Is the Next Major Business Challenge for the Semiconductor Industry

  By Alua Suleimenova, Senior Sustainability Program Manager, ´óÐãÖ±²¥

  

  This blog was originally posted in .

  The semiconductor industry is the bedrock of modern technology, enabling everything from AI and cloud computing to electric vehicles. Yet, this critical sector is also one of the most resource-intensive globally, with a substantial dependency on water. A single fabrication plant can demand up to 10 million gallons of water daily, comparable to the consumption of a city with 300,000 residents. Much of this water is, of course, reused and recycled through sophisticated systems. This immense water usage, particularly the requirement for ultrapure water for processes like cleaning and etching, makes consistent access to high-quality water a non-negotiable for operational reliability and business continuity. The new insights report ¡°¡± provides the first global baseline of water risk hotspots for the semiconductor sector, assessing water risks across 140 facilities across 89 water basins to inform future risk mitigation strategies.

  ´óÐãÖ±²¥ Ranks on the A-List of CDP Supplier Engagement Leaders

  By Alua Suleimenova, Senior Sustainability Program Manager, and Vienna Alexander, Marketing Content Professional

  

  ´óÐãÖ±²¥ has achieved an A-list ranking in the CDP Supplier Engagement Assessment for the 2024 reporting cycle. Reaching this first-time accomplishment recognizes the company¡¯s efforts and leadership in climate targets, climate risk assessment and management, and engaging with suppliers on climate action and sustainability.

  The CDP is the largest sustainability disclosure platform that evaluates how companies are doing in terms of climate action. Specifically, its Supplier Engagement module grades companies¡¯ performance on sustainability governance and business strategy, climate targets, climate risk management processes and Scope 3 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions which can result from activities outside of companies¡¯ four walls like those from outsourced manufacturing suppliers.

  Sustainable Computing With CXL: How ´óÐãÖ±²¥ Structera X Can Help Eliminate Waste, Expand Capacity, Lower Emissions

  By Khurram Malik, Senior Director of Product Marketing, ´óÐãÖ±²¥

  As AI, cloud computing, and high-performance workloads continue to grow rapidly, data centers are accelerating their infrastructure upgrades. Central to this transformation is the migration to?DDR5 memory, designed to meet the increasing demands for bandwidth and speed in servers.

  This shift, however, comes with a significant challenge:?millions of fully functional DDR4 memory modules, the dominant memory inside today¡¯s servers, could be retired prematurely. This is not because of a performance failure. DDR4 memory modules can operate for a decade or longer. Instead, it is because the latest generation of server CPUs only support DDR5 memory. Put another way, when hyperscalers replace their current servers with DDR5 modules over the coming years, they will be potentially throwing away billions of GBs of fully functional DDR4 memory if they can¡¯t find ways to use them.

  The result is a looming e-waste problem and an environmental impact that cannot be ignored. Up to?66 billion kilograms of CO? emissions¡ªapproximately the same amount that would be generated by 168 billion miles of driving¹-- and thousands of tons of e-waste can be avoided by giving DDR4 a second life.? ´óÐãÖ±²¥? CXL Structera? X?presents a powerful solution by extending the life of DDR4 memory, enabling data centers to reuse these existing assets, reduce capital expenditures, and minimize their carbon footprint¡ªall while improving the performance footprint of their infrastructure.

  ´óÐãÖ±²¥ CXL Structera X: A Pathway for More Memory

  Released last year, ´óÐãÖ±²¥ Structera CXL devices effectively allow cloud operators and system designers to add extra memory, memory bandwidth, and/or computing cores to servers by transforming an open PCIe interface into a memory channel. ?A first-of-its kind device, the Structera A memory accelerator provides a path for adding up to 16 server CPU cores, 200Gb of memory bandwidth and 4TB of memory for offloading the processing of deep learning recommendation models (DLRM) and other tasks for CPUs.

  Structera X, meanwhile, focuses on maximizing capacity. A single Structera X 2404 is capable of supporting up to 12 DDR4 additional DIMMs, or 6TB memory capacity without compression, or up to 12TB with LZ4 inline compression in a single one- or two-processor server. It is also the first CXL device to be compatible with both DDR4 or DDR5. As a result, Structera X becomes a conduit for recycling DDR4. The diagram shows more:

  

  Financially, reusing memory is a boon. .² Repurposing TBs of otherwise-to-be-discarded DDR4 instead of buying new DDR5 means thousands of dollars saved per CXL-enhanced server.

  Sustainability as an Opportunity for Semiconductor Product Innovation

  By Alua Suleimenova, ESG Program Manager, ´óÐãÖ±²¥

  The annual United Nations Climate Change Conference COP28 taking place this year in Dubai has brought technology under the sustainability spotlight. In an era of rapid technological advancement, digitalization and proliferation of AI, environmental impacts of technology cannot be overlooked.?The semiconductor industry is now at a unique juncture: the global demand for semiconductor products is growing rapidly alongside increasing pressure to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

  Reducing emissions from semiconductor product manufacturing remains the most effective and preferred response measure to climate change for many companies.?At the same time, addressing upstream climate impacts alone would not represent a comprehensive picture. Semiconductor companies are increasingly embracing sustainable product design and prioritize power reduction both intrinsically in the products themselves and extrinsically - by collaborating with their customers around energy efficiency in the data infrastructure systems in which the semiconductor products are deployed.
