The latest buzz around generative AI ignores the massive costs to run and power the technology. Understanding what the sustainability and cost impacts of AI are and how to effectively address them will be the topic of our next SNIA Networking Storage Forum (NSF) webinar, “Addressing the Hidden Costs of AI.” On February 27, 2024, our SNIA experts will offer insights on the potentially hidden technical and infrastructure costs associated with generative AI. You’ll also learn best practices and potential solutions to be considered as they discuss: Read More

FAQ on CXL and SDXI
How are Compute Express Link™ (CXL™) and the SNIA Smart Data Accelerator Interface (SDXI) related? It’s a topic we covered in detail at our recent SNIA Networking Storage Forum webcast, “What’s in a Name? Memory Semantics and Data Movement with CXL and SDXI” where our experts, Rita Gupta and Shyam Iyer, introduced both SDXI and CXL, highlighted the benefits of each, discussed data movement needs in a CXL ecosystem and covered SDXI advantages in a CXL interconnect. If you missed the live session, it is available in the SNIA Educational Library along with the presentation slides. The session was highly rated by the live audience who asked several interesting questions. Here are answers to them from our presenters Rita and Shyam.
Q. Now that SDXI v1.0 is out, can application implementations use SDXI today?

Programming Frameworks Q&A
Last month, the SNIA Networking Storage Forum made sense of the “wild west” of programming frameworks, covering xPUs, GPUs and computational storage devices at our live webcast, “You’ve Been Framed! An Overview of xPU, GPU & Computational Storage Programming Frameworks.” It was an excellent overview of what’s happening in this space.
There was a lot to digest, so our stellar panel of experts has taken the time to answer the questions from our live audience in this blog.
Q. Why is it important to have open-source programming frameworks?
A. Open-source frameworks enable community support and partnerships beyond what proprietary frameworks support. In many cases they allow ISVs and end users to write one integration that works with multiple vendors.
Q. Will different accelerators require different frameworks or can one framework eventually cover them all?

You’ve Been Framed! An Overview of Programming Frameworks
With the emergence of GPUs, xPUs (DPU, IPU, FAC, NAPU, etc.) and computational storage devices for host offload and accelerated processing, a panoramic wild west of frameworks is emerging, all vying to be one of the preferred programming software stacks that best integrates the application layer with these underlying processing units.
On October 26, 2022, the SNIA Networking Storage Forum will break down what’s happening in the world of frameworks in our live webcast, “You’ve Been Framed! xPU, GPU & Computational Storage Programming Frameworks.”
We’ve convened an impressive group of experts that will provide an overview of programming frameworks that support:
