Building An Ecosystem for Heterogeneous Memory Supercomputing
The drive toward exascale computing is giving researchers the largest HPC systems ever built, yet key bottlenecks persist: More memory to accommodate larger datasets, persistent memory for storing data on the memory bus instead of drives, and the lowest power consumption possible. …
