The Roadblock Ahead – Power Usage for Storage and I/O
SESSION: The Roadblock Ahead – Power Usage for Storage and I/O
EVENT TYPE: Panels
TIME: 10:30AM - 12:00PM
Panelists:Roger Ronald, John Shalf, Bill Boas, Thomas Sohmers, Ronald P. Luijten, Jim Ang
ROOM:383-84-85
ABSTRACT:
Predicted energy expenditures for traditional high-end computing systems in 2018 indicate that instruction execution will be a surprisingly small percentage (<20%) of power usage for the entire system. Energy used for memory, network, and storage accesses will contribute almost 60% of the total. As subsequent advances and scaling in computing occur, the percentage of energy needed to move and store data appears likely to grow even further.
Moving to Exascale requires innovative solutions for reducing memory and I/O power utilization.
In the past, access delays to external memory have been addressed by caching within processors. Are there equivalent options on the horizon that could address storage and I/O power usage to enable continued advances in leading-edge computing?
