NVIDIA, IBM, and several university members have created an architecture to provide fast "fine-grain access" to considerable amounts of data storage for GPU-accelerated applications. This technology will benefit areas such as artificial intelligence, analytics, and machine-learning training.
Big accelerator Memory, or BaM, is an intriguing endeavor to lower the dependence of NVIDIA GPUs & comparable hardware accelerators on a standard CPU such as accessing storage, which will improve performance and capacity.
