Enabling a more comfortable society...
Creating non-stop information systems that regulate themselves like living things

What if ticket reservation orders pour in for a sports match, swamping the system? Or a bank's online system suddenly goes down? We are developing "organic" computing technology in which servers, storage systems and network infrastructure are connected seamlessly and work together autonomically—like a single organism—to adapt, solve problems, even "heal" themselves. These advanced systems, and the semiconductor technology upon which they are built, will be key in supporting the ubiquitous networking world.

We have developed organic storage technology that autonomically links multiple magnetic disk drives, enabling customers to safely store enormous volumes of data and quickly access required information whenever the need arises. Since disk drives can be upgraded to next-generation products without interrupting service, this technology makes it possible to maintain highly reliable, high-performance systems. We have also made possible rapid transfer of large volumes of data among IT equipment by connecting servers, storage systems and other equipment with a compact high-performance switch that incorporates the world's first single-chip 10 Gbit/s Ethernet switch chip.

We are advancing grid computing technology that makes maximum use of the capabilities of networked servers and PCs to achieve supercomputer-level processing power. By virtualizing and integrating IT resources in Japan and overseas, we have developed a platform that dynamically allocates IT resources in accordance with application load, and we have demonstrated the validity of this prototype system. In addition, we are actively participating in the standardization of next-generation grid architecture.

We are carrying out research on technologies that enable customers to use services and computing resources whenever and only to the extent that they need them. By developing systems that monitor themselves and control themselves autonomically utilizing operational management know-how in database form, we will enable stable delivery of services.

We are creating tools and methodologies for developing high-quality software more quickly and efficiently by automatically generating web application or business system programs from the diagrams of specifications described in UML(Unified Modeling Language). We are also researching BPM(Business Process Management) technology, which continuously monitors and improves business processes executed with IT systems.

SoC devices combine multiple system functions on a single silicon chip, making possible power savings, faster processing speeds, smaller size, and lower costs for all sorts of electronic equipment. We have developed a high-performance 8-way VLIW(Notice)-embedded multimedia microprocessor. Our technology is widely used for printers, DVDs, digital TVs and numerous other devices. We continue to strive for even higher performance by deploying other leading-edge technologies, such as high speed I/O and reconfigurable logic.

We continue to achieve breakthroughs in a broad range of semiconductor technologies, including new film materials for interlayer dielectrics and ultra-high-density processing technology. We have developed 90nm process technology for mass production and developed 65nm process technology. In 45nm technology, we are researching high-speed, low-power-consumption CMOS technology, including multilayer interconnects using copper wiring and materials with a low dielectric constant. Such ultra-high-density IC technology will make possible high-performance mobile devices that are smaller and use less power.
