Analysis of the Top500 interconnect families over the past decade reveals that it has been an era when standard commodity I/O technologies have come to dominate, almost completely. Speeds have gone from 1 Gigabit to over 50 Gigabits, latencies ahave decreased 10X to below a microsecond and software has evolved towards 1 software stack - OpenFabrics. Enterprise is now adopting these same capabilities at a rapid rate, From the perspective of the major suppliers of systems and machines to HPC, this panel will discuss the next generation of interconnects and system I/O architectures. SUMMARY:Exascale and Big Data IO - Which Will Drive Future IO Architectures, Standards and Protocols - Should They be Open or Proprietary PRIORITY:3 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR BEGIN:VCALENDAR PRODID:-//Microsoft Corporation//Outlook MIMEDIR//EN VERSION:1.0 BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART:20121114T203000Z DTEND:20121114T220000Z LOCATION:355-BC DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:ABSTRACT: The requirements for ExaScale and Big Data I/O are driving research, architecturaldeliberation, technology selection and product evolution throughout HPC and Enterprise/Cloud/Web computing, networking and storage systems.
