Memory-Centric Architectures

The @HPCpodcasts Industry View feature takes on major issues in the world of HPC, AI, and other advanced technologies through the lens of industry leaders. Today, we discuss the CPU-Memory-I/O dynamics and the emergence of memory-centric architectures. We are joined by Patrick Caporale who is Executive Director, Distinguished Engineer, and Chief I/O Architect at Lenovo’s Infrastructure Solutions Group. Patrick has served in a variety of senior technical roles at Lenovo for the past 10 years, and for 20 years before that at IBM, leading into the Lenovo acquisition.

We touch on many topics including the CPU-Memory-I/O gap, memory-centric architectures, Non Von-Neumann architectures, NUMA, advances in I/O, computational storage, disk, tape, Ultra Ethernet Consortium, Ultra Accelerator Link, CXL, tiered storage, power and cooling, heat capture, and more.
