The National Institute of Health's modernized high-performance computing (HPC) capabilities enable significant innovations in scientific research. NIH's supercomputer Biowulf is the first and largest supercomputer completely dedicated to advancing biomedical research, and produced the first complete, gapless sequence of a human genome. Looking to the future, HPC's emerging scientific requirements include compatibility with petabyte-scale data, increased CPU computing, additional storage capacity, and flexibility. To face these challenges, HPC is exploring transformative technologies such as Gen AI and quantum computing to help improve the discovery of scientific research. This presentation will discuss the current state of HPC, limitations within HPC, and future exploration of Gen AI and quantum.

Compute Express Link (CXL) has risen as a promising interconnect technology that enables seamless high-speed, low-latency communication between host processors and various peripheral devices, making it attractive for memory-intensive applications. In this talk, we'll evaluate the performance characteristics of CXL memory in real-world environments using ASIC-based CXL memory. We then present our learnings from microbenchmarks, explore the potential use cases and evaluate their benefits from using CXL memory. Based on our comprehensive evaluations, we share our insights of how we may better utilize CXL memory to optimize the performance and cost of data center applications, as well as our vision for next-gen memory architecture leveraging new capabilities from CXL 2.0/3.x.
