Non-volatile memory will have a major impact on future supercomputing architectures. In this talk we will discuss architectural design options which are enabled through these new technologies. A particular focus will be the enablement of active storage architectures like Blue Gene Active Storage. For Blue Gene Active Storage is realised by integrating non-volatile memory into the Blue Gene/Q I/O nodes, thus creating an intermediate storage layer. We will present details on this new architecture including novel developments on software interfaces for accessing the non-volatile memory. After a report on micro-benchmark results demonstrating the capabilities of this architecture, we will present in detail a number of use cases analyse the opportunities for scientific applications as well as the challenges to exploit them. During this talk we will also highlight a number of related architectural and technological developments. |
