摘要
Big-data analytics has scaled up to Exa-scale (1018 bytes or flops) that is already beyond the scalability of the present technology and architecture. It has thereby raised many new research opportunities to deploy emerging technology and architecture towards building a data-centre on single chip with integrated 1000-core microprocessors and main memory. One fundamental challenge is how to overcome dark silicon dilemma of big-data server with improved I/O utilization for both power management and data communication. The first part of this talk will focus on memory-logic-integration by 3D TSV and 2.5D TSI I/Os with performance comparison from thermal robustness perspective. What is more, a 2.5D reconfigurable I/O architecture is developed for both scalable power management and data communication in many-core microprocessor. With an adaptive space-time multiplexing depending on data-patterns, the utilization efficiency of energy and bandwidth can be both boosted. The developed 2.5D smart I/O has been utilized in a national big-data server design program to integrate 1000-core accelerators with memory for on-chip machine learning. The remaining part will briefly address the next generation big-data server with logic-in-memory architecture by nano-scale non-volatile memory devices without the use of I/Os.
