Topic:

   The Next Frontier of Computing: From Memory Technologies to Emerging Architectures

Abstract:

   As artificial intelligence and data-intensive applications continue to advance, memory performance, energy efficiency, and data movement have become critical challenges in modern computing systems. Addressing these challenges requires rethinking conventional memory technologies and system architectures. This talk explores the evolution of memory and storage technologies, highlighting the limitations of conventional memory hierarchies and the opportunities offered by emerging nonvolatile memories. In particular, we will discuss how racetrack memory enables new approaches to memory organization and system optimization. Looking beyond conventional architectures, we will also explore emerging computing paradigms, such as processing-in-memory, that bring computation closer to data. These developments offer new perspectives on designing efficient and scalable next-generation computing systems.
