The NEXTGenIO project partners have designed, built and delivered a prototype hardware platform based around new non-volatile memory (NVRAM) technology.
NEXTGenIO was well represented again at ISC19.
Various of the partner organisations presented the successful results of the project via talks, demos and poster presentations at booths and in scheduled events, as detailed below.
Edinburgh, 7th June 2019: Today, a consortium led by EPCC, the supercomputing centre at the University of Edinburgh, announces the installation of the prototype system developed by the NEXTGen
The NVRAM technology deployed in this project (3D XPoint) offers higher densities than DRAM with lower energy usage such that higher memory capacities are feasible compared with DRAM. On the other hand, the access times are still inferior to DRAM.
NEXTGenIO partners BSC will be running some booth demos at SC18 - come along to booth #2038 and find out about some of the latest developments arising from work done under NEXTGenIO.
NEXTGenIO has just produced three new White Papers: one Systemware White Paper and two Architecture White Papers.
EPCC is pleased to announce the first public demonstration of the prototype NEXTGenIO[1] HPC system, developed in collaboration with project partners across Europe.
The European HPC Summit Week, hosted by EXDCI, is a great opportunity to see the network with all relevant European HPC stakeholders, from technology suppliers and HPC infrastructures to scientific and industrial HPC users in Europe.
