REMINDER! PROPOSALS ARE DUE APRIL 3! The OCP Takes Action Against Silent Data Corruption! In the realm of computing systems, there lurks an insidious threat - Silent Data Corruption (SDC). A hardware-induced SDC is an error that occurs when data is corrupted within a computing system, often without any indication from the built-in error detection mechanisms. This can happen due to manufacturing defects, aging components, or even environmental factors. These errors may lead to anomalous/unpredictable software behavior, causing incorrect calculations, potentially leading to consequences like the loss of data. The OCP's Server Project has established the Server Component Resilience Workstream, focused explicitly on tackling hardware-induced Silent Data Corruption. This workstream, comprising key industry players Meta, Google, Intel, ARM, AMD, Microsoft, and NVIDIA, is launching a request for research proposals to fuel innovation in detection and prevention of SDC. The OCP Foundation is inviting researchers to submit proposals in the focus areas. Researchers interested in contributing to this groundbreaking initiative can submit their proposals by April 3, 2024 Read the full story and learn more here: [https://bit.ly/4biquWo]

A big shout out to our event and food & beverage sponsors! Without them, we would not be able to put on an event of this quality, that includes meals, lots of coffee and even adult beverages. We are just 11 days away and we are getting ready! https://bit.ly/3xO1X76 @OpenComputePrj #OCPSummit24 #FromIdeasToImpact

?FTI Workshop: Short Reach Optical Interconnects OCP Global Summit makes many connections and shapes many connections. One such area is Short-reach optical interconnections (SROI). SROI can improve processor-to-processor and processor-to-memory bandwidth, both key technologies in HPC and AI clusters. If you’re into networking or compute and memory interconnects, be sure to note that we have a half-day workshop on October 16th featuring our Future Technologies Initiative workstream on SROI. You’ll learn about photonic fabrics, replacing copper IO with linear co-packaged optics, and scaling up and out with short-reach optics. #Optics #FutureTechnologies #OCP2024 See the agenda, the full roster of sponsors and register here: https://bit.ly/3xO1X76

FTI Workshop: Data Centric Computing As compute is becoming more distributed with AI and we look to find ever more efficiencies, the OCP Future Technologies Initiative workstream on data-centric computing is looking at ways to bring together a cohesive framework for these technologies such as computational storage, processing in memory (PIM), near-memory processing, and data processing units. At OCP Global Summit on October 16th, there will be a dedicated half-day workshop delving into these data-centric computing topics, also including near-data computing, memory advances for AI and HPC, and several panel discussions with our members. #DataCentric #FutureTechnologies #OCP2024 See the agenda, the full roster of sponsors and register here: https://bit.ly/3xO1X76

Have you made your hotel reservations for the upcoming OCP Global Summit in San Jose, CA? We are expecting record attendance, and many of the hotels are sold out. Visit the Travel page of the event website to find available hotels nearby. Make sure you are registered, as prices will go up onsite. And the lines may be long on day 1, so get there early enough to make the keynotes, which start promptly at 9:00 am Pacific.

Don’t Miss the FTI Workshop: AI HW SW Co-Design at the Upcoming OCP Global Summit, less than two weeks away! The OCP Global Summit always pulls together a large Community of interest, but remember it’s made up of many subgroups. As you build your schedule, if you’re looking for sessions on open AI in only the AI track, don’t overlook the half-day workshop for the Future Technologies Initiative’s (FTI) workstream on AI hardware-software co-design. As co-design is a trending topic for AI, this workshop will feature 9 talks breaking down the full ecosystem, the various cross-stack optimizations, large-scale interconnect, using AI to design AI clusters, and a couple panels. #AI #FutureTechnologies #OCP2024 See the agenda, the full roster of sponsors and register here: https://bit.ly/3xO1X76
