8:30-Noon | | Pre-Conference Seminar A: Neutralizing Ransomware Extortion (Pre-Conference Seminars Track) | | Speaker(s):
| | Session Description:
| This high-level Cybersecurity primer spotlights easily-understood vulnerabilities persisting within today’s computing arenas. It summarizes existing Transport Security Layer (TLS) and Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) data encryption and authentication support that presently safeguards Internet privacy and security. The presentation examines the consequences of Quantum Computing undermining existing TLS/PKI protections as well as the international efforts being taken to contend with this threat. Backed by peer-reviewed journal sources, it recommends enterprises and institutions begin planning to transition to newly announced Post Quantum Computing (PQC) data encryption standards that unfortunately provide no effectiveness guarantee. It illustrates how one evolutionary, hybrid technology – ShapeShift™ - can immediately help neutralize Ransomware threats in many environments as well as fortify National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) data encryption standards. It concludes with an informative historical example of what often occurs during times of momentous change such as the advent of Quantum Computing. Your enterprise is your data, keep it secure

8:30-Noon | | Pre-Conference Seminar B: SmartNIC/DPU Storage Solutions (Pre-Conference Seminars Track) | | Speaker(s):
| | Session Description:
| SmartNICs often called DPUs (Data-Processing Units) are very good at accelerating many applications, but they're great at accelerating networked storage solutions. With multiple up to 400 Gb network ports and many lanes of PCIe, it's the perfect solution to sit between high-performance NVMe solid-state drives and high-performance network ports. Add to that the ease of development with open framework SDKs and line speed NVMe over fabrics offloads, like encryption, decompression, and deduplication accelerators, and you have the perfect controller for a networked storage solution in any part of the data path. At this seminar learn from companies who have or are in the process of deploying a wide range of storage solution on DPUs.

| What is the current state of edge, cloud computing and is one segment more important/vital than the other? It is often said that the most current, most reliable data is located at the edge and if that is true how do we ensure it is safe, reliable and available to decision makers when and where it is needed. As processing gets pushed more toward the edge we need to simultaneously centralize it so it can be used to make fast, accurate decisions that effect the entire ecosystem. Where will the data exist in five years and do we really care as long as it is instantly available to the total ecosystem. Silos of data are being torn down as we level out the analysis/use of the information across the spectrum. Propriety of solutions will be rapidly replaced as we use storage as the tool to facilitate tomorrow's systems/solutions.

| | Session Description:
| High-performance workloads demand on-package integration of heterogeneous processing units, on-package memory, and communication infrastructure to meet the demands of the emerging compute landscape. AI, ML, data analytics, 5G, automotive, and high-performance computing are driving these demands to meet the needs of cloud computing, intelligent edge, and client computing infrastructure. On-package interconnects are a critical component to deliver the power-efficient performance with the right feature set in this evolving landscape. Universal Chiplet Interconnect Express (UCIe), is an open industry standard with a fully specified stack that comprehends plug-and-play interoperability of chiplets on a package, and which is similar to the seamless interoperability on board with off-package interconnect standards such PCI Express, Universal Serial Bus (USB), and Compute Express Link (CXL). This presentation will explore (1) usages and key metrics associated with different technology choices in UCIe, (2) the different layers and software models associated with UCIe along with the compliance and interoperability mechanisms, and (3) how UCIe will evolve to incorporate additional usage models in the future.

| Computational Storage: Compelling Usecases Now and in the Future
Andrew Walls, IBM Fellow, CTO FlashSystem, IBM | Session Description:
| Computational Storage Devices have been deployed widely in usecases where context about the data is not needed. Low latency compression is a good example of an offload requiring little to no context. The result is excellent data reduction at very high performance with low CPU utilization on the controllers. RAID or Erasure Code acceleration is another example of assists that can be done without knowing much about the data. There are some other intriguing Storage Controller functions that can be offloaded at a block level with little metadata information. With some information about the data, the potential for offload is extremely interesting. Even with high performance SSDs, the amount of bandwidth that can be read and fed into controllers or applications is a fraction of the NAND read bandwidth available. Therefore, scanning, search, filtering engines can be run in line or in the background providing an efficient use of precious storage network bandwidth. This talk will discuss these and future accelerators that make the use of CSDs very compelling. Come listen to a well-known expert in the field of high performance storage discuss the future of computational storage inside SSDs.

| Flashy Crypto: A Storage OEM View
Robert Thibadeau, Chairman/CEO, Drive Trust Alliance | Session Description:
| The TCG Self-Encrypting Drive core specifications provide optional features that help define how to solve the problem of losing the credentials to establish or transfer cryptocurrency ownership or NFT ownership. The basic method is to allow secure storage and tunneled distributed synchronization across separate self-protecting flash and hard drives. So, losing one USB drive in the swarm of diverse self-protecting storage devices, for example, is not catastrophic. This is whether any stipulated subset of the storage device security swarm got accidentally thrown away or, even, was stolen. The operations would be universal across cryptocurrencies and types of NFT and would protect in each self-protecting storage device all the additional evidence and history surrounding the basic authentication and key operations no matter the computing environment in which these devices are operated out of. So, for example, the NFT content is, itself, protected from unauthorized viewing.

| Enabling Observatory Data Capture for Characterization of Black Holes
Kamaljit Singh, Technologist, Western Digital | Session Description:
| In 2019, the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) collaboration published the first image of a black hole located in the galaxy Messier 87 (M87) in the center of the Virgo A galaxy. This realized a long-standing goal in astrophysics, to directly observe the immediate environment of a black hole with angular resolution comparable to the event horizon. The EHT project used the technique of Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) of linking radio dishes across the globe to create an Earth-sized interferometer that was capable of the highest angular resolution possible from the surface of our planet. A next-generation EHT (ngEHT) is now being designed and planned, which will deploy new telescopes and upgrade existing ones to create a fundamentally new instrument with the ability to make the first movies of black holes. In this case study we discuss how Western Digital is collaborating with the ngEHT team to aid with continuous, high-speed data captures by high-density storage devices. These ruggedized transportable storage devices will be designed to transport data to far off central facilities for processing.

| Machine Learning and Non-Volatile Memories
Rino Micheloni, Research Fellow, University of FerraraCristian Zambelli,
Assistant Professsor,
University of Ferrara (Italy)
| Session Description:
| The Talk will be based on the content of a new book published by Springer, titled "Machine Learning and Non-volatile Memories". At a first sight, ML and NVMs seem very far away from each other. ML implies mathematics, algorithms and a lot of computation; and NVMs are solid-state devices used to store information. However, these two worlds can work together. In particular, we can identify two main fields of application: analog Neural Networks (NNs) and SSDs. 1. NNs perform a specific computation called Vector-by-Matrix (VbM) multiplication. NVMs enable the analog implementation of the VbM, which can beat the equivalent digital implementation in terms of speed and power. 2. Inside SSDs, NANDs are managed by a microcontroller which executes the Flash management algorithms. For a storage designer it is difficult to directly access the internal architecture of the device, and therefore going to a higher abstraction level (i.e., algorithms handling data from/to the drive) is the only viable solution. These algorithms are usually referred to as prognostics tools, and ML has emerged as a very promising candidate in this context. All the above topics will be covered in the Talk.

| CXL's Memory Form Factors: A Powerful Set of Options
Christopher Cox, VP of Technology at Montage Technology, Montage Technology | Session Description:
| Today there are at least four technologies vying to convert DRAM from a planar to a 3D manufacturing technology. This presentation will explain how these technologies work, why DRAM is expected to yield its market to one of them (and when that opportunity might arise), and what these technologies must do to succeed DRAM. It will also use the history of NAND flash's difficult 3D NAND transition to project how long such a change might take, and how the market is likely to respond to the transition.

| The Key Foundations and Future of DRAM - Industry Standards
Jonathan Hinkle, Distinguished Member of Technical Staff, Micron TechnologyChristian Gyllenskog,
,
Micron Technology
| Session Description:
| DRAM is one of the core technologies required for all computing systems and most electronics in the world today. For many decades, DRAM has improved and met the needs of each generation of new technologies and workloads, while amazingly remaining drop-in compatible across suppliers. This has been accomplished through JEDEC, the global standards organization that leads the development of the industry's memory standards, including DRAM and NAND flash. With more than 3,000 volunteers representing over 300 member companies, JEDEC has been the key forum where companies have come together to decide and define the future for memory. This talk will provide an overview of the industry's key standards related to DRAM plus related implications for performance, power, and reliability, with a look back to where they've been and then forward to where things are going. It will highlight key technology initiatives that will be important to the industry and emerging trends for DRAM that will be critical to planning for the future.

Olga Buchonina, Founder, ActionSpotFirewall of Things, Firewall of Memory Chips
Hiroshi Watanabe, Professor, National Chiao Tung University | Session Description:
| It has been well-understood that the blockchain ecosystem is being grown up togive rise to an impactful change of the network infrastructure. In particular, theexpansion to metaverse, NFT, IoT, physical distributions, and/or smart usage ofeverything are extensively discussed. However, one may worry that thoseexpansions widen the border to face increased risk of cyber-attacks, thoughblockchain is powerful enough to prevent the manipulation of the history of datatransactions among assumed nodes (logical nodes) while secret keys areprotected. However, data is input from the external of the blockchain.Blockchain itself is neither a method to prove that assumed nodes are real andnor that to protect secret keys. For the trust data source, we may need tomonitor data sources and exclude it from the network as necessary. For theprotection of secret keys, it may be helpful that the functions of the master ID isdivided to plural replicas of an anonymized-ID share. The spoo'ng of datasources (physical nodes) and theft of secret keys may cause a similar problem.Thus, we can see that both secret keys and the connection to physical nodesshould be treated with especially. Nevertheless, someday, a fake tree will befound. A resilient reproduction of trees is also necessary. In this session, theseproblems will be discussed.

| New Memory Architectures for AI
Steve Pawlowski, CVP, Advanced Memory Systems, Micron Technology | Session Description:
| CXL is set to allow for a reinvention and mass expansion of form factors and solutions, and this has led to a wide array of options. This presentation will walk through how the DRAM DIMM is set to evolve into new form factors, but how selecting the right form factor is not a simple choice as there is no clear guidance for this important issue. We will show a few of the front runner form factors, and how the controller layout & packaging can vary dramatically based on the routing and solution choice. As such, there is a clear need for the industry to agree to at least a couple of the solutions (and their associated controllers) to help reduce cost, and to make CXL Memory Solutions successful.

| | Session Description:
| The panel will address a range of sustainability topics being broad and wide, as well as narrow and deep. What are the top priorities a storage technology company should focus on (and in general, any electronics technology manufacturing company) to address regional and global sustainability objectives for carbon footprint, resource conservation, product reusability and longevity. For engineers designing storage device and system products, what are top considerations addressing circularity, sanitization, and power efficiency objectives. For CIOs who oversee and deploy IT infrastructure including storage, there are trade-offs and many decisions for selecting technology in-house and choosing service offerings that meet SLA and sustainability objectives. Panelists will reference relevant industry programs, policies, and regulations - where some are voluntary, some will become compulsory, and what lays ahead in the near-term.
