Future of Memory and Storage - Day 3 @ 09:45

Panel Discuss - Storage in Accelerator-Centric Architectures

Domain-specific accelerators such as GPU, TPUs, xPUs already dominate the servers being deployed in hyperscale AI factories. This has posed a sea change in hardware and software, from infrastructure and architecture to deployed applications.

In the past few of years, we have seen different approaches to incorporate storage into these new AI-centric architectures. Some focused on maintaining current applications and leveraging peer-to-peer capabilities between accelerators and SSDs (e.g.,GPU-Direct Storage), and some aiming at re-designing the I/O path, with accelerators directly issuing low level NVMe Commands (e.g., Nvidia's StorageNext/SCADA initiative, SNIA's Storge.ai).

In this panel, we will cover the  SOTA on how storage is to evolve in accelerator-centric architectures. Here, we will hear from the experts in the frontline about new advancements on both the hardware and the ecosystem side, and we will have the opportunity to hear their perspectives on questions from both moderators and the audience.
