Medicne research – Customer challengesObstacles impose delays on timely results

Big data and big compute requirements

• Processing required measured in days and weeks

• Resource requirements inhibit clinical / commercial viability

Cumbersome infrastructure• Costly, complex deployment,

overbearing maintenance

• Shared, limited-access resources

• Confidentiality and privacy concerns

Innovation, iteration and refinement• Genomic workflow pipelines evolving

• Rich set of open-source, shareware and commercial applications

Data explosion• Dataset of a single genome: 100-200GB

• NCBI Genbank is doubling every 10 months

• Data management, access, migration are challenging

Most Big Data Apps are Latency-

bound!!!

Often, your app waste CPU waiting for data to

arrive

Analyst Insight – Adoption and MaturityWhat are the analyst saying? Cutter, Gartner, Forrester…


In Memory Computing Technologies


Server architecture – classic

• Two types of data storage:

– DRAM memory – fast, volatile, byte level access

– HDD disk – slow, nonvolatile, block access

• Data moves from disk to memory

– Fetched by CPU

• CPU writes results to memory

• Data stored back to disk for future use

Server architecture – evolved

• NVM (initially NAND flash) reduces response

time

• First adoption through SATA (and SAS)

– Same software HDD disk interface

• Followed by PCIe/NVMe SSDs:

– Exploit multi-core CPUs

– Avoid separate Drive Controller

• Initial NVDIMM – DRAM* for speed

– Data de-staged to slower NVM

– DRAM: battery (or capacitor) backedSSD
