Integration of NVM Technologies in HPC Architectures: Challenges and Opportunities

SESSION: Integration of NVM Technologies in HPC Architectures: Challenges and Opportunities

EVENT TYPE: Birds of a Feather

TIME: 12:15PM - 1:15PM

SESSION LEADER(S):Dirk Pleiter, Robert Germain, Felix Schuermann

ROOM:601/603

ABSTRACT:
I/O performance of HPC systems is a major challenge on the path towards exascale. As of today the computing performance continues to improve at a faster path than the performance of the I/O subsystem. Architectural opportunities based on the use of existing non-volatile memory technologies and those arising from advances in NVM technologies can play a role in addressing these challenges. The Blue Gene Active Storage (BGAS) architecture is an example of this approach as it realises an active storage concept within a top-class HPC architecture. A key question will be how applications can utilize these technologies and this architecture.
