Appearances:



Future of Memory and Storage - Day 1 @ 11:10

Redefining Data Center Storage for the AI Era with Flash Memory and SSDs

The AI industry focus is shifting from model training to inference systems that deliver customer value. This transition is changing the design of new data centers built specifically for AI workloads, placing new demands on memory and storage.  As the inventor of NAND and 3D flash memory, KIOXIA continues to deliver innovations in flash memory, SSDs, and software for every application, and especially AI.  KIOXIA BiCS FLASH™ 3D memory deliver advances in performance, density, and reliability, which enable SSDs to address workloads for today and the future.  KIOXIA memory and SSD leaders will share the latest advancements in the technology, and how they deliver performance and scaling advantages in new AI-centric data centers.

Future of Memory and Storage - Day 2 @ 13:20

Memory Solutions to Scale AI Data Pipeline

As LLM model sizes, context lengths, concurrent sessions, and active user counts continue to grow exponentially, the memory and storage hierarchy demands a fundamental redesign. Cohesively co-designing KV cache and SSD storage with context awareness will be critical to building scalable, efficient AI infrastructure. In this presentation, we will share our perspectives on optimizing SSD controller chip and firmware design in concert with KV cache systems — such as CMX — to help shape the future of AI inference.
