Micron Joins CERN openlab, Bringing New Machine Learning Capabilities to Advance Science and Research
November 12 2018 - 11:03AM
Micron’s High-Performance Memory Solutions
to Support Discoveries in High-Energy Physics
Micron Technology, Inc., (Nasdaq: MU) an industry leader in
innovative memory and storage solutions, today announced the
company has joined CERN openlab, a unique public-private
partnership, by signing a three-year agreement. Under the
agreement, Micron will provide CERN with advanced next-generation
memory solutions to further machine learning capabilities for
high-energy physics experiments at the laboratory. Micron’s memory
solutions that combine neural network capabilities will be tested
in the data-acquisition systems of experiments at CERN.
High-energy physics scientists are looking to deploy
leading-edge technologies that can support their experiments’
computing and data processing requirements. Memory plays a vital
role in accelerating intelligence by processing vast amounts of
data, helping researchers gain valuable insights from data
generated by high-energy physics experiments.
As part of the work with CERN, Micron will develop and introduce
a specially designed Micron memory solution that will be tested by
researchers at CERN for use in rapidly combing through the vast
amount of data generated by experiments. The project will feature
FPGA-based boards with Micron’s most advanced high-performance
memory combined with an advanced neural network technology
developed in collaboration between Micron and FWDNXT, a provider of
deep learning and AI solutions.
“Micron is committed to pushing the limits of innovation by
providing high-performance memory and storage solutions to solve
the world’s greatest computing and data processing challenges in
data analytics and machine learning,” said Steve Pawlowski, vice
president of advanced computing solutions at Micron Technology.
"We’re proud to work with CERN to deliver machine learning
capabilities that will enable high-energy physics scientists to
make advances in their science and research experiments.”
“CERN collaborates openly with both the public and private
sector, and working with technology partners like Micron helps
ensure that members of the research community have access to the
advanced computing technologies needed to carry out our
groundbreaking work,” said Maria Girone, CTO at CERN openlab. “It
is critical to the success of the Large Hadron Collider that we are
able to examine the petabytes of data generated in a fast and
intelligent manner that enables us to unlock new scientific
discoveries. These latest-generation memory solutions from Micron
and machine learning solutions from FWDNXT offer significant
potential in terms of enabling us to process more data at higher
speeds.”
Micron will demonstrate its high-performance memory solutions
running FWDNXT’s Machine Learning SDK at SC18, November 12-15, in
Dallas, Texas. For more information on Micron, please visit
