Computational Memory Solution (CMS)
Memory
Information
With the explosion of data driven by advances in big data analytics and artificial intelligence, processing data-intensive workloads is becoming an increasingly important task, one that requires a solution that goes beyond current processor-centric structures to deliver greater memory capacity, bandwidth, and computing performance.
SK hynix Computational Memory Solution (CMS) is the ultimate solution for data-intensive workloads, an intelligent memory solution that adopts a near-data processing (NDP) approach. CMS benefits include:
1) Full utilization of internal memory bandwidth with use of NDP cores, optimized for data-intensive workloads, for efficient handling;
2) Ample memory capacity in CMS card built on SK hynix’s cutting-edge memory technology;
3) Significant reduction of energy consumption overhead related to data movement, owing to data reduction in CMS card;
4) Cost-effective scalability, allowing easy system scale-up and eliminating need to buy entire server systems just to add more memory channels
We prepared the first CMS prototype to demonstrate such advantages. The prototype targets the embedding layer processing of a DL-based recommendation model, a representative data-intensive workload, to show the scalability and performance improvement delivered by CMS. Come see this first-ever live demonstration at our in-person booth or watch the demo video prepared for virtual event participants.
Our CMS product will be coming to market in the near future. Until then, please stay tuned!
