Server Architecture for the New Age Datacenter
Server architectures have largely been boring. Boring has been good. It has helped applications thrive in a stable H/W ecosystem and innovate at providing business logic. While performance improvements have largely been single thread performance improvements extended to data center class systems, we are beginning to see a new era in Server architecture designs driven by memory technologies, accelerators and fabrics like Gen-Z, CCIX and Open CAPI that glue them.

Easy Persistent Memory Performance Wins
Mainstream non-volatile main memory (NVMM) is just around the corner: Intel is opening up access to their 3DXpoint technology to a broader range of companies, and we are gradually learning more about the technology. Despite our growing understanding, the question of...
Intelligent memory architecture with new memory technologies
A previous blog titled “Blurring the lines between memory and compute” by R. Das was a nice summary of the history and the recent trends on addressing the memory wall challenges with process-in-memory (PIM) ideas. This blog would like to further highlight...
