Memory Outperformance
From The Core To The Edge Of Digital Transformation
VISION
The importance of memory innovation in digital technology cannot be overstated. Dynamic Memory-Driven™ innovation has led to the development of new memory technologies like HBM (High Bandwidth Memory), which provides ultra-fast memory access to CPUs and GPUs, resulting in significant performance improvements for AI and ML applications. Innovations like HBM have opened up new possibilities for AI and ML models, enabling them to process more complex data sets in real time.
The impact of memory innovation is not limited to AI and ML. It has far-reaching implications for other areas like gaming, healthcare, and autonomous vehicles, where performance and reliability are critical. The development of memory technologies like MRAM (Magnetoresistive Random Access Memory) and RRAM (Resistive Random Access Memory) holds the promise of even more significant improvements in memory speed, power consumption, and durability.
It is self-evident that the pursuit of memory innovation is critical to unlocking the full potential of digital technology. The Memory Digital™ Ultra-SuperBrand is at the forefront of this pursuit to push the boundaries of what's possible across the digital landscape. As we continue breaking the boundaries of Moore's Law, we can look forward to even more exciting advancements in memory technology that will transform how we live, work, and express ourselves.
NAND/HDD Memory
The exponential increase in the amount of data that needs to be stored, processed, and analyzed due to the growth of AI and ML has led to the requirement of faster and more efficient data storage solutions.
NAND flash is a type of non-volatile storage technology used in SSDs (solid-state drives) and USB drives. Its faster read and write speeds compared to traditional HDDs make it ideal for high-speed data access applications like AI and ML. NAND flash also offers higher durability and reliability, making it popular in data centers.
HDDs, on the other hand, have been the primary form of data storage for decades. They provide large capacity memory storage at a relatively low cost. While they are slower than SSDs, they still play a significant role in the storage of large amounts of data in data centers. Companies such as Seagate and Western Digital are continuously developing advanced technologies like HAMR for HDDs, which offer improvements in storage capacity and performance.
Both NAND flash and HDDs continue to play a crucial role in the development of data storage technologies for AI and ML applications. NAND flash-based solutions like SSDs are ideal for high-speed data access, while HDDs are ideal for storing large amounts of data at a relatively low cost per gigabyte. Technologies like NVMe have emerged to enhance the performance of NAND flash-based solutions, making them even more suitable for AI and ML applications.
The growth of AI and ML has led to the demand for faster and more efficient data storage solutions, where both NAND flash and HDDs continue to play a pivotal role in the development of data storage technologies. High Bandwidth Memory is the next big technological leap.
As the amount of data being generated by AI and ML applications continues to grow, there is a need for even more advanced data storage solutions. To meet this demand, companies are developing new technologies like MRAM (Magnetoresistive Random Access Memory) and ReRAM (Resistive Random Access Memory). These emerging technologies offer the potential for even faster read and write speeds than NAND flash, while also being more energy-efficient and durable. As AI and ML applications continue to evolve, it is likely that these technologies will play a crucial role in the future of dynamic data memory storage alongside NAND/Flash and HDDs.
Hybrid Memory
NAND and HDD storage technologies have entered a new phase of system integration, unlocking unprecedented levels of capacity, performance, and data resiliency, especially for enterprise applications.
Hybrid drives, which combine the benefits of NAND and HDD storage, provide the best of both worlds. They offer high-speed access to frequently accessed data with NAND/Flash storage and high-capacity data storage with HDDs. Hybrid drives also provide increased data resiliency through the use of intelligent software algorithms, data redundancy, and error correction techniques. This ensures data integrity and provides greater protection against data loss due to hardware failures or other issues.
The integration of NAND and HDD storage technologies allows for greater levels of capacity, performance, and data resiliency, making them particularly useful for enterprise applications where large amounts of data need to be stored and accessed quickly and reliably.
Hyperscaled Memory Innovation At The Speed Of Light
On March 18th, 2024, NVIDIA announced a breakthrough that brings accelerated computing to the field of computational lithography, enabling semiconductor leaders like ASML, TSMC and Synopsys to accelerate the design and manufacturing of next-generation chips, just as current production processes are nearing the limits of what physics makes possible.
The new NVIDIA cuLitho software library for computational lithography is being integrated by TSMC, the world’s leading foundry, as well as electronic design automation leader Synopsys into their software, manufacturing processes, and systems for the latest-generation NVIDIA Blackwell™ architecture GPUs. Equipment maker ASML is working closely with NVIDIA on GPUs and cuLitho, and is planning to integrate support for GPUs into all of its computational lithography software products.
The advance will enable chips with tinier transistors and wires than is now achievable, while accelerating time to market and boosting energy efficiency of the massive data centers that run 24/7 to drive the manufacturing process.
Memory Driven AI
March 18th , GTC 24, Keynote, Jensen Huang CEO
With computing now advancing at light-speed NVIDIA announced a broad set of partnerships with Google, Microsoft, Oracle and a range of leading businesses that bring new AI, simulation and collaboration capabilities to every industry. NVIDIA Blackwell is a new type of high-performance computing (HPC) CPU that is designed specifically for use in data centers. One of the key features of the Blackwell CPU is its high-bandwidth memory architecture, which is called HBM (High Bandwidth Memory) GPU technology. This allows the CPU to have much faster access to memory than traditional CPUs, which can greatly accelerate certain types of workloads such as AI and machine learning.
Blackwell is based on the ARM architecture, which is known for its power efficiency and is widely used in mobile devices. NVIDIA has combined ARM with its own GPU technology to create a powerful HPC CPU that is expected to deliver high performance and energy efficiency. It is designed to work seamlessly with NVIDIA's GPUs, and the company plans to integrate Blackwell with its DGX systems, which are designed for AI workloads.
Overall, NVIDIA Blackwell represents a significant step forward in the development of HPC CPUs, particularly in the area of memory performance. Its HBM GPU technology is expected to enable new types of AI and machine learning workloads that were previously not possible with traditional CPUs.
“The development of AI is as fundamental as the creation of the microprocessor, the personal computer, the Internet, and the mobile phone. It will change the way people work, learn, travel, get health care, and communicate with each other. Entire industries will reorient around it. Businesses will distinguish themselves by how well they use it.”
