DENVER, Nov. 13, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Netlist, Inc.
(NASDAQ: NLST), Nyriad® and TYAN today announced a solution to
support Netlist NVvault® non-volatile memory for cache acceleration
in Nyriad's graphics processing unit (GPU)-accelerated storage
platform, NSULATE™ on a TYAN Thunder server.
By adopting Netlist's NVvault DDR4 NVDIMM-N non-volatile memory,
Nyriad NSULATE-based storage systems can be configured to achieve
millions of IOPS, sustaining high throughput while also enabling
levels of storage resilience and integrity - impossible with
traditional central processing unit (CPU) or redundant array of
independent disks (RAID) -based solutions.
The Netlist and Nyriad technologies will be showcased on a TYAN
Thunder HX FT77D-B7109 dual root complex 4U 8GPU server configured
with Netlist's NVvault at the SuperComputing 2017 Conference
Exhibition taking place in Denver,
CO from November 13-16.
Additional information on the demonstration will be available at
Netlist's booth #2069 and TYAN's booth #1269.
C.K. Hong, Netlist Chief
Executive Officer, said, "NVvault®, which is part of our
storage-class memory family of solutions, is vital to Nyriad's
NSULATE™ accelerated and resilient storage-processing architecture.
When combined with TYAN's latest server targeted at big data and
high-performance computing applications, we have created a game
changing platform to drive improved IOPS (input/output operations
per second), security, scale, performance and total storage array
cost per terabyte. The solution enables NVvault to bring
substantial performance benefits to end user applications such as
big-data analytics by storing data in a way that is directly
accessible to high performance GPUs."
Nyriad Chief Executive Officer Matthew
Simmons stated, "Processing and storing large volumes of
data has become so I/O (input/output) intensive that traditional
storage and network fabrics can't cope with the volume of
information that needs to be processed and stored in real-time.
However, GPUs have become the dominant solution for modern
high-performance computing, big-data and machine learning
applications. Our collaboration with Netlist and TYAN has
broken this bottleneck and will enable major leaps in exascale
storage performance and efficiency."
Danny Hsu, Vice President of
MiTAC Computing Technology Corporation's TYAN Business Unit stated,
"For many years, TYAN has met the ongoing challenge to provide
efficient and powerful products that can support demanding
applications in many areas, including the storage and
high-performance computer space. Towards this goal, we are working
with Netlist and Nyriad to define a new kind of computing solution
to address vastly larger data sets and analytics, offering huge
performance gains for customers worldwide."
Netlist's NVvault® DDR4 is an NVDIMM-N that provides data
acceleration and protection in a JEDEC standard DDR4 interface. It
is designed to be integrated into industry standard server or
storage solutions. NVvault is a persistent memory technology
that has been widely adopted by industry standard servers and
storage systems. By combining the high performance of DDR4
DRAM with the non-volatility of NAND Flash, NVvault improves the
performance and data preservation found in storage virtualization,
RAID, cache protection, and data logging applications requiring
high-throughput.
Nyriad's NSULATE™ solves these problems by replacing RAID
controllers with GPUs for all Linux storage applications. This
enables the GPUs to perform double duty as both I/O controllers and
compute accelerators in the same integrated solution. The
combination of Netlist NV Memory with NSULATE™ produces the best of
both worlds, with low-latency IOPS achievable by any storage
solution combined with maximum data resilience, security,
throughput and efficiency in the same architecture.
The first next-generation solutions based on the Netlist and
Nyriad technology is expected to appear in the market from leading
industry partners early next year.
