Abstract
While the last decade of computer architecture has established many novel compute solutions we find that application performance is often dominated by data movement. The convergence of HPC, AI and analytics and emergence of edge computing has furthered the trend of applications needing to access large amounts of memory fast and efficiently and with low energy.
In this talk we demonstrate the performance and power impact of data movement on key parallel applications and explore architectural solutions like tightly coupled heterogeneity, moving compute to data and adaptive hardware to address the performance challenges due to data movement.
