Standard computer architectures suffer from von Neumann bottlenecks for all processing is done exclusively on the processor.
The computer's memory is not involved in processing, as it is only used to store programs and data. When a computing system or application has large amounts of data, moving data between memory and the processor can slow down processing.
Adding processing directly into memory can help alleviate this problem. Processing In Memory (PIM) or Processing Near Memory (PNM) is capable of manipulating data in computer memory.
By moving part of the computation to a memory device, PIM/PNM solves a fundamental problem in modern computing system design: the mismatch between von Neumann architectures and the huge memory bandwidth demanding of applications.
Many industrial prototypes and products are under development or are already available on the market, and these devices show promise for cost-effective and energy-efficient acceleration of HPC, AI, and Big-Data analytics workloads.
This panel will discuss the reasons for the renewed interest in PIM/PNM and its technological readiness and challenges in terms of Applications, System and SW.

CPU performance improvement based on Dennard scaling and Moore's Law has already reached its limit, and domain-specific computing was considered as an alternative to overcome the limitations of the existing CPU-centric computing model. Domain-specific computing, seen in early graphics and network cards, has expanded into accelerators such as GPGPUS, TPUs, FPGAS, and IDPs. Meanwhile, hyperscalers, where power efficiency is particularly important, use ASICs or FPGAs to offload and accelerate OS, security, and data processing tasks. Handling large amounts of data in a power-efficient manner requires reexamining the model for moving data from traditional storage to the CPU. This model consumes a lot of power and limits performance due to bandwidth limitations. Computer Storage (CS) or In-Storage Computing (ISC), first explored in the 1990s, is another important piece of the puzzle. As data is explosively generated in the cloud, machine learning, big data, and edge, the industry is actively reviewing the application of CS in various fields. This panel discusses the current state of CS, its potentials and challenges in various applications.

High-throughput, low latency data movement between compute resources (memory included) has become a bottleneck in modern distributed computing workloads such as AI/ML, HPC, and databases. The interconnect fabrics for the two main types of data movement in compute - load store memory access and byte moving I/O - have historically been built and treated disparately. While this made sense when CPU I/O and network interfaces were far lower bandwidth than memory interfaces, their interconnect is now at an architectural merge point. In this keynote, Enfabrica will reveal its blueprint for any-scale, high-bandwidth, latency-tiered memory movement in the data center based on fabrics that blend load store and local DMA primitives (over CXL, PCIe, and similar) with RDMA over network technologies running at 800 Gbps and beyond. We will highlight the efficiencies of such a unified fabric architecture, its ability to render high-throughput memory movement as scalable and hierarchical from chipset to cluster, and its utility as an infrastructure building block that fits seamlessly within existing, robust system software frameworks.

EVP, Memory Solution & Product Development
Samsung Electronics

Jin-Hyeok Choi leads Device Solution’s R&D – Memory division, which develops new memory technologies and enables memory products.

Jin-Hyeok joined Samsung Electronics in 2003 as a SoC design engineer, working on the development of mobile storage. From 2012 to 2019, he was in charge of the development team for controllers, a core component of SoCs based on NAND Flash. He developed and commercialized the world's first eMMC and UFS products, as well as various controllers for SATA/SAS/NVMe SSDs. He also developed the first-ever enterprise premium SSD with high endurance VNAND and has contributed significantly to the expansion of the storage market.

Jin-Hyeok received his B.S., M.S., and Ph. D. degrees in Electronics Engineering from Seoul National University in 1989, 1991, and 1996, respectively. He also studied low-power circuits at the University of Tokyo's Institute of Industrial Science.

Over the last two decades, large HPC machine efforts have become a procurement exercise.  A large set of applications have been unable to leverage the additional computational power of newly-procured machines without significant additional software development.  The machine architectures need to evolve:  new systems architectures and innovations require a deep understanding of application uses cases and their needs.   Memory and storage, as foundational elements, will be at the center of future innovative systems, driving both greater performance and increased energy efficiency.

CXL as memory expansion is changing how data centers think about main memory.  Direct attached memory on DIMMs has flattened out, with DDR5 barely extending the footprint of older DDR4 systems at the same time that artificial intelligence and similar applications are demanding massive increases in total memory capacity.  CXL memory modules can dramatically grow the memory footprint, however CXL introduces new challenges that have users concerned.  Increased power requirements, longer access latency, limited per-module capacity, and increased danger of data loss on power failure have end users wondering… is it really worth it?  Non-volatile main memory can address these limitations of CXL memory expansion, encouraging data centers to lay the foundation for a future with whole new ways to think about memory pooling.

Bill Gervasi

Memory Technology Analyst
Discobolus Designs

Bill Gervasi joined Intel in 1976 in the computer systems group manufacturing department, eventually leaving Intel in 1995. During that period, the computer industry changed from computers that filled rooms the size of basketball courts to desktop and laptop form factors in nearly every home in the world.

Since then, Bill specialized in the computer memory technology arena, getting involved in international standards and battles for global dominance for this key part of computer systems. As a chairman of the JEDEC standards organization, he has had a role in paving the memory industry roadmap, and contributed to spreading these standards to the world including engagement with foreign governments. Bill is a public speaker in this niche, generating both excitement and controversy with his aggressive vision for change and progress.

Bill is an incurable practical joker who thrives on making people laugh (or periodically grimace), and his years in the nascent computer industry are polka dotted with gags on unsuspecting co-workers. Bill’s eclectic background also includes years as a published food critic, and fortunately even more years as an aerobics fitness instructor, apparently to burn off the calories consumed while reviewing restaurants. He lives with his wife in Orange County, California.

Bill makes the best coffee in the world, in case you wondered.
