computational storage summit
SNIA Persistent Memory And Computational Storage Summit, Part 1
SNIA held its Persistent Memory and Computational Storage Summit, virtual this year, like last year. Let's explore some of the insights from that virtual conference from the first day. Dr. Yang Seok, VP of the Memory Solutions Lab at Samsung spoke about the company's SmartSSD. He argued that computational storage devices, which off-load processing from CPUs, may reduce energy consumption and thus provide a green computing alternative. He pointed out that data center energy usage has stayed flat at about 1% since 2010 (in 2020 its was 200-250 TWh per year) due to technology innovations.
