TOKYO -(Dow Jones)- NEC Corp. said Tuesday it has developed memory core technology which enhances existing memory architectures, significantly improving computer performance. The Virtual Channel Memory technology, which requires no changes to input/output architectures, chip packaging or board design, is expected to double graphics performance and raise system performance by as much as 20% for personal computers, workstations and servers, the company said. The technology temporarily stores data in multiple channels between input/output terminals and memory cells, allowing a memory chip to prepare other data requests in a separate channel while it is reading or writing current data. NEC said it would begin authorizing use of VCM technology to a number of memory vendors in early 1998 without charging licensing fees. The company aims to make VCM a de facto industry standard, and expects to see more than half of all new memory products use the technology by 2000, it said
