Near Data Compute for AI
With the growth of AI, the necessity for compute near data is becoming more critical. Work is going on in SNIA and OCP to define architectures, frameworks, and APIs to facilitate Near Data Compute (NDC). This presentation will walk through the developments in both of these organizations to help you understand what standardization is doing to make NDC a reality for your system. Compute now encompasses In Memory Processing, Near Memory Processing, DPUs, and Computational Storage. This expansion to include processing associated with memory facilitates a broader scope of compute that will facilitate the immense processing required by AI by moving this processing near the data as opposed to moving the data to the compute. By reducing data movement, NDC reduces latency, improves performance and reduces power consumption.
