Abstract

This paper provides an overview of the expected value of emerging persistent memory technologies to high performance computing (HPC) use cases. These values are somewhat speculative at the time of writing, based on what has been announced by vendors to become available over the next year, but we describe the potential value to HPC as well as some of the challenges in using persistent memory. The enabling work being done in the software ecosystem, applicable to HPC, is also described.

Performance characterization of a DRAM-NVM hybrid memory architecture for HPC applications using intel optane DC persistent memory modules
MEMSYS '19: Proceedings of the International Symposium on Memory Systems

Non-volatile, byte-addressable memory (NVM) has been introduced by Intel in the form of NVDIMMs named Intel® Optane™ DC PMM. This memory module has the ability to persist the data stored in it without the need for power. This expands the memory ...
Evaluating the feasibility of storage class memory as main memory
MEMSYS '16: Proceedings of the Second International Symposium on Memory Systems

Storage class memory offers the prospect of large capacity persistent memory with DRAM-like access latency. In this work, we evaluate the performance of a small set of benchmarks using SCM as main memory. We use an FPGA emulator to model a range of ...
Design of heterogeneously-integrated memory system with storage class memories and NAND flash memories
ASPDAC '19: Proceedings of the 24th Asia and South Pacific Design Automation Conference

Heterogeneously-integrated memory system is configured with various types of storage class memories (SCMs) and NAND flash memories. SCMs are faster than NAND flash, and they are divided into memory and storage types with their characteristics. NAND ...
