Flash Memory and GPGPU Supercomputing: A Winning Combination
SESSION: Heterogeneous Computing I
EVENT TYPE: Exhibitor Forums
TIME: 2:30PM - 3:00PM
Presenter(s):Robert Wilpfel
ROOM:155-B
ABSTRACT:
Implementing GPUs in supercomputers is a great way to further accelerate raw processing power. Another great way is implementing flash as a persistent, high capacity memory tier that acts like RAM.
Connecting flash as a memory tier, directly to the system BUS provides the ability for supercomputers to run applications natively on flash memory, which greatly accelerates performance. Companies that have used this type of technology have been able to make more potent supercomputers that rival those in the Top500.
This presentation will share the details behind using flash as a new memory tier, how it works with GPGPU, what this means for companies, and what environments can benefit from this new architecture.
