Presenter: Janki Bhimani
Abstract:
In this talk, I delve into the intricacies of end-to-end system design, particularly focusing on optimizing memory and storage systems. Picture a scenario where complex algorithms struggle to process vast datasets due to inadequate memory and storage configurations, hindering progress across various sectors. Suboptimal system configurations not only impede advancements but also result in resource wastage. Achieving efficiency requires balancing performance, endurance, scalability, and adaptability across hardware and software layers. Navigating these complexities demands a deep understanding and innovative solutions to address evolving challenges and opportunities at different levels, including workload, memory management, and storage in system architecture. The challenges to ensure systems operate optimally are diverse: simultaneous operations from multiple applications, flash-based SSD sensitivity to I/O workloads, the dynamic nature of modern data processing systems, heterogeneous and emerging memory and storage devices, and the need for adaptive management strategies.
