Small Granularity Graph Neural Network Training and the Future of Storage
Current SSD devices are mostly built with a 4KiB transaction unit, or even larger for bigger drive capacities. But what if your workload has high IOPs demands at smaller granularities? We will take a deep dive into our GNN testing using NVIDIA BaM and the modifications that we made to test smaller than 4K transactions. We will also discuss how this workload is a good example of the need for Storage Next.
