As the supercomputing conference SC22 takes place in Dallas, Texas, Steve Pawlowski, Corporate Vice President Advanced Memory Systems, joins host Jim Greene on the newest edition of the Chips Out Loud podcast to discuss topics and trends in High Performance Computing.
”If you really try to break out the cost of the different compute structures versus the cost of moving data in order to be able to do a single floating point operation, you spend about 100 times more energy doing the data movement than you do actually doing compute, “ Steve confides, “And so the idea was, okay, instead of moving data to where the compute is, we're getting massive amounts of data and we keep the data resident and do what we can to move the computing closer and closer to the data to improve the bandwidth so that we can improve the performance of these systems and to lower the energy so that we can improve the energy efficiency as well.”
Jim and Steve continue to discuss current challenges for high performance computing centers, Micron’s new technology offerings in the arena, and a future-looking assessment of the evolution of HPC.
