Abstracts and Bios

Kishore Atreya, Marvell, “Scaling Storage Efficiently for Composable Infrastructure Environments”
Abstract: As the world moves to a more connected way of life, applications that drive our day to day have started to require a large amount of data and computation. Data centers are growing rapidly and are increasing in costs both capital and operational. It’s highly desirable to scale resources based on application workload dynamically versus statically leading to a more Composable computation infrastructure. Composable infrastructure allows for operators to purchase storage, and compute independently of each other while presenting a single virtual machine interface for an application to run.
Bio: Kishore graduated with a BS in CMPE from Georgia Tech and an MS in ECE from Santa Clara. He was an initial member of the Cavium Xpliant team who built the first production programmable switch on the market with XP80. He worked as a software architect and project lead for next generation Xpliant devices prior to the merger, currently working as a software product manager in the Networking BU at Marvell Semiconductor with a focus on next generation applications including composable infrastructure and edge data centers.

Sam Bayliss and Ralph Wittig, Xilinx, “Xilinx 7nm Versal Family with AI Engine Processing Fabric”
Abstract: Versal, a combination of the words “versatile” and “universal”, is a new heterogeneous computing category that offers a broad range of architectures under the same umbrella, and has at its foundation programmable hardware and software. Versal comes at a time of immense change driven by such trends as AI; the rapid growth of data and the need to collect, store and analyze it; mobility; and 5G networking that require an adaptive compute environment that can quickly address the changing dynamics in the industry.
