SC25: SNIA and Partners Showcase Open Standards for AI and HPC

SNIA, a not-for-profit global organization for technologies related to handling and optimizing data, returned to SC25 at the Open Standards Pavilion, Booth #211.SNIA was joined by leading standards organizations, including DMTF, OpenFabrics Alliance (OFA), Universal Chiplet Interconnect Express (UCIe), Ultra Accelerator Link (UALink), NVM Express, and the Ultra Ethernet Consortium (UEC).

Key Highlights:

AI and HPC Demonstrations: Hands-on exhibits at the booth featured SNIA Swordfish scalable storage management and 24G+ SAS technologies; AI and HPC solutions for persistent and CXL memory programming and memory-to-memory data movement; time and performance-based Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) models; and new E2 SSD form factor standards.

Featured Communities: SNIA showcased its Storage Management, Compute, Memory and Storage, and SCSI Trade Association (STA) Communities.

StorageAI: SNIA team members at the booth discussed their collaborative open standards StorageAI project to address AI workload challenges, including data pipeline inefficiencies, idle GPUs, memory tiering, data movement, and system latency.

“The Open Standards Pavilion brings together the organizations building the foundational technologies behind modern AI and HPC systems,” said Richelle Ahlvers, vice chair, SNIA board of directors, and ecosystem enabling director, Intel, “SC25 is a unique opportunity to show how collaboration across open standards is accelerating innovation in AI and high-performance computing.”
