Bringing Compute to the Data
Moderator: Jim Handy, Objective Analysis
Over the entire history of computing data has resided in storage and memory, and has been summoned to the data processing element as it is needed. Today the industry is discovering that the movement of Big Data to the processor consumes inordinate power and incurs significant time penalties. This panel, featuring leading companies who address this issue, will discuss their current efforts to move compute to the data to save power, accelerate processing speed, and even improve scalability, in order to greatly enhance the cost/performance of tomorrow’s computers.
Panelists:
· Kurtis Bowman, Gen-Z Consortium
· Thad Omura, Scaleflux
· Bharadwaj Pudipeddi, NVSL Tech
· Frankie Roohparvar, Xitore
Hardware Visions for Ubiquitous Storage and Memory
Session Sponsor: Sony
Moderator: Jean Bozman, Hurwitz
Emerging non-volatile solid-state storage technologies are set to replace or supplement DRAM in many applications. New fabric technologies will enable fast network storage using NVMe devices. Flash memory is moving to more and more 3D layers with three-level cells and four-level cells capable of reducing the costs for flash memory and driving its use. At the same time, HDDs as well as magnetic tape and optical storage are getting faster. Find out about the latest in storage devices and networking in this exciting session.
