Eui-cheol Lim is a Research Fellow and leader of Solution Advanced Technology team in SK Hynix. He received the B.S. degree and the M.S. degree from Yonsei University, Seoul, Korea, in 1993 and 1995, and the Ph.D. degree from Sungkyunkwan University, suwon, Korea in 2006. Dr.Lim joined SK Hynix in 2016 as a system architect in memory system R&D. Before joining SK Hynix, he had been working as an SoC architect in Samsung Electronics and leading the architecture of most Exynos mobile SoC. His recent interesting points are memory and storage system architecture with new media memory and new memory solution such as CXL memory, Processing in Memory. and recently introduced HBF(High Bandwidth Flash).
A precise abstract will be provided after approvals from the participating companies, est end of 1st week of March. Below is a placeholder:As AI Large Language Models (LLMs)—continue to scale up in size, the industry has collided with the "Memory Wall", with memory bandwidth and capacity growth limitations, leading to severe bottlenecks in AI inferencing performance, energy efficiency, and total cost of ownership (TCO). This panel explores the emergence of High Bandwidth Flash (HBF) as a disruptive architectural shift designed to bridge the gap between volatile HBM (High Bandwidth Memory) and traditional NAND storage.The session will discuss how HBF technology aims to redefine the memory hierarchy by providing near-memory speeds with the density and persistence of high bandwidth flash. The panel will bring together experts from both HBM/HBF solution providers, as well as Hyperscale- AI Infrastructure provider, to dissect the HBF technology usage and development needed for success, including Architectural Integration, Technical Challenges, Standardization timelines, performance and economics.
