Keynote: Storage for AI Using GPUs

August 7, 2024 | 1:50 pm - 2:20 pm | Mission City Ballroom

Learn how advancements in AI and the demand for adding GPUs to servers are driving changes such as larger physical size and power supply capacity in AI-focused server architectures. One way to resolve these competing requirements is to disaggregate the storage into its own chassis. Mark Miquelon, Platforms Product Manager at Western Digital and Rob Davis, VP of Storage Technology at NVIDIA demonstrate how this can be done without sacrificing any performance to the GPU infrastructure utilizing NVMe-oF technology.
