Best of both worlds: Device-system co-design approaches for future data storage applications

Abstract

Even though solid-state storage technology has seen unprecedented growth in bit-density over the last decade, emerging artificial intelligence and edge computing applications present new challenges related to security, reliability, and energy-efficiency. These challenges can only be addressed through innovative system design concepts that aptly utilize the physical properties of storage media. In this talk, I will introduce a novel device-system co-design approach to open-up new opportunities for enhancing security and reliability of future edge computing/storage applications.
