Samsung’s second-generation smart solid-state drive integrates data processing functions. Unlike traditional solid-state drives, smart solid-state drives can process data directly, thereby minimizing data transfers between CPU, GPU, and RAM. This technology can avoid the limitation of data transfer between the storage device and the CPU so that the system performance can be significantly improved, and the energy efficiency can be greatly improved. Compared with Samsung’s first-generation smart solid-state drive, the computing performance of the second-generation smart hard drive is more than doubled.
Samsung said that compared with traditional solid-state drives, the second-generation smart solid-state drives can reduce the processing time by more than 50%, reduce energy consumption by 70%, and reduce CPU utilization by 97% in the face of a large number of database queries.
Jin-Hyeok Choi, executive vice president and head of memory solutions product and development at Samsung Electronics, said that the first-generation smart solid-state drive developed in partnership with AMD explored the huge potential of the computing storage market, and with the second-generation smart solid-state drive, Samsung will satisfy Growing customer demand in the fields of database and video transcoding, so Samsung will seize the future market.
Sina Soltani, corporate vice president of AMD’s Data Center and Communications Group Sales, said that with the support of AMD’s Xilinx Versal™ adaptive SoC, the second-generation Samsung smart solid-state drive integrates computing and storage in the data center. function, which achieves an increase in CPU efficiency and a substantial reduction in power consumption. Samsung’s second-generation smart solid-state drives will deliver outstanding performance and ultra-efficient efficiency for the expanding storage market.
