Samsung Tech Talk at CSAIL- Flash Architecture for the Datacenter
Sponsored by CSAIL Alliances

Soaring demand for increased storage performance at lower cost is raising the bar for design & innovation within the industry. Developers are innovating with new materials and more customer-focused features at the device level, but even more innovation is occurring at the memory level.  With an increasing number of data-intensive applications becoming SSD-friendly, storage designers have been faced with significant overhead due to the persistence of a number of legacy protocols and an entrenched software stack. NAND technology continues to push the limits of density, scaling, latency reduction and performance, innovation in flash chips, next gen storage protocols, and supportive software is helping solid state storage break through long-defiant bottlenecks. However applications like machine learning, artificial intelligence and health sciences are driving new domain specific architectures that present challenges for traditional hardware and software stack for flash. We will cover latest advances by Samsung and summarize some of the key research areas for new flash architectures.

Date and Time Tuesday, October 24, 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM
Location   32-G882 (Hewlett Room, Ray and Maria Stata Center)
