Supercomputing2020 --
Penguin Computing,
Inc., a division of SMART Global Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: SGH) and
leader in high-performance computing (HPC), artificial intelligence
(AI), and enterprise data center solutions, announced at SC20 that
it has partnered with Intel® (NASDAQ: INTC) and MemVerge™ to unveil
the Penguin Computing LiveData with MemVerge Memory Machine™
solution to help customers supercharge Big Memory computing
initiatives.
As data-intensive workloads scale, it’s critical to implement
data-driven, software-defined architectures that meet the demands
of large data sets. Penguin Computing’s LiveData with MemVerge
Memory Machine is built upon the Intel Xeon Scalable platform with
large memory server building blocks and memory-centric,
software-defined architectures to provide a Big Memory solution
leveraging DRAM; Intel Optane persistent memory (PMem); and
high-performance, low-latency networking to drive real-time
workloads. Using Intel Optane, the total addressable memory
footprint of a server can be increased between two and four times
that of a system using DRAM only. MemVerge Memory Machine allows
users to massively scale out DRAM and Intel Optane PMem with
virtualized memory pools where all applications and data can run
without modification or additional development. To support
operational needs, MemVerge has invented rich big memory data
services such as snapshot, replication, and tiering that enable
lightning fast recovery from in-memory application crashes.
Existing tier-1 applications can run safely and transparently on
Big Memory without application rewrites.
LiveData addresses the Data Greater than Memory (DGM) roadblock
by providing a memory virtualization software layer that delivers
software-defined memory services without the need to modify
applications. This allows thousands of applications running in the
data center to scale DRAM and PMem capacity at a lower cost.
LiveData with MemVerge Memory Machine can be integrated into
existing bare-metal, containerized, virtual or cloud environments.
It can be implemented alone as a solution or in combination with
other Penguin Computing solutions for HPC, AI/Machine Learning, and
Cloud to provide an end-to-end complete compute platform.
With the launch of Penguin Computing’s four dedicated technology
practices, LiveData is an integral part of the Data Practice which
delivers modern data architectures that leverage rapidly evolving
open hardware combined with the stability, utility, and flexibility
of innovative software architectures. LiveData will help customers
improve the performance, adaptability, and accessibility of their
data platforms with the power of software-defined technologies at
every tier.
Penguin Computing is completing verification of incorporating
LiveData into its Intel Select Solution, providing additional
confidence to organizations looking to speed innovation and
accelerate deployment.
“Through our work with Intel and MemVerge, LiveData provides
customers with an optimized turnkey big memory computing solution
catered to memory-intensive workloads,” said Kevin Tubbs, Ph.D.,
and senior vice president, Strategic Solutions Group at Penguin
Computing. “With these advanced capabilities, we’re supporting
customers’ innovative workflows and accelerating
time-to-value.”
“Intel Optane persistent memory is a breakthrough that combines
the performance of memory with the data persistence of storage,
delivered with higher capacity points and lower cost-per-gigabyte
than large DRAM DIMMs,” said Alper Ilkbahar, vice president and
general manager of Data Center Memory and Storage Products Group at
Intel. “The LiveData solution from Penguin Computing and MemVerge
enables existing applications to move ‘in-memory’ and take full
advantage of the persistent memory with zero code
modifications.”
“MemVerge Memory Machine allows customers to harness the best of
DRAM and PMem to create a new software-defined Big Memory tier,”
said Charles Fan, cofounder and CEO at MemVerge. “Through our
partnership with Penguin Computing, we’re now able to provide
customers a software-defined memory service without having to
compromise on cost, storage, or availability.”
LiveData key features include:
- Tier Persistent Memory and DRAM for optimum performance
- Low-latency memory replication
- Virtualize memory to form a platform for enterprise-class data
services
- In-memory storage compatible with existing applications
- Can recover hundreds of GB in seconds with ZeroIO™ memory
snapshots
- Ability to clone databases in seconds
