Future of Memory and Storage - Day 1 @ 08:35

CXL Looks for the Perfect Home

CXL offers a very broad range of features that simplify computing architectures that have been hard to implement.  How are system architects likely to use it?  Will it have a beneficial or harmful effect on the memory chip market?  In this presentation, Jim Handy takes an in-depth look at the CXL market and estimates its potential adoption for a broad range of applications, pulling together a forecast that very soundly argues for rapid market growth through 2030.  Attendees will gain insights to help them create a successful CXL Strategy.

Future of Memory and Storage - Day 1 @ 10:20

What Happens When Hyperscalers Slow Their AI Spending?

Today’s memory shortages and sky-high prices are driving the chip market to astronomical heights, but this spending spree won’t last forever, and when it ends, the chip market will undergo some very dramatic changes.  Join this session to see how Objective Analysis’ Jim Handy takes the lessons learned from past semiconductor cycles to plot the direction of tomorrow’s chip market.

Future of Memory and Storage - Day 3 @ 08:35

How Chiplets Empower Tomorrow’s Processors

Now that processors are being broken down into chiplets, each with its own specialty like processing, I/O, and cache, will it make sense to abandon today’s standard electrical I/O like DDR and PCIe along with SRAM caches?  The answer is a resounding “Yes!”  Attend this session to learn how today’s shift to chiplet-based processors will lead to new architectures, algorithms, and benefits for not only high-end processors, but all though the world of digital electronics, all the way down to the smallest processors used in battery-powered Internet end points.  This session presents the architecture of the future, and gives insight to what today’s system developers and business leaders must do to keep pace with the enormous changes that are just around the corner.

Future of Memory and Storage - Day 3 @ 15:10

How New Memory Technologies Will Revolutionize Hardware and Software

Today’s computing systems are facing a number of challenging roadblocks, and these will bring new memory types – MRAM, ReRAM, FRAM, and PCM – into widespread use in all levels of computing system.  Join this session to learn how these technologies promise to change the way that tomorrow’s computers will approach data processing as they provide persistent storage not only near the processor, but even within the processor itself.  Learn the effect this will have on processor price/performance and how system architecture will take advantage of these new technologies to manage data in altogether new and better ways.
