SAN JOSE, Calif., Jan. 24, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Netlist, Inc.
(NASDAQ: NLST), Nyriad® and HPC Systems today announced their joint
collaboration to deliver superior throughput, IOPs and resilience
for high performance Lustre storage solutions for large and small
files targeted at large-scale cluster computing.
HPC Systems is a leading expert in configuring Lustre solutions
for scientific work-loads. In collaboration with Netlist and
Nyriad, they bring to market next generation solutions that achieve
superior performance and resilience at a lower cost than previous
solutions based on RAID controllers. Netlist's NVvault®,
non-volatile NVDIMM combined with Nyriad's GPU-accelerated storage
enables larger, more parallel Lustre OSD nodes to achieve higher
throughput and higher IOPs with scale.
Teppei Ono, President of HPC
Systems, said, "This collaboration is one of the exciting
revolutions in high performance computing where larger scale
solutions result in a leap in efficiency. With Nyriad's NSULATE
technology, we get higher performance and resilience the more
drives we add to a node. At larger storage scales with higher
throughput, we can dispense with RAID controllers and use NVDIMM's
from Netlist to achieve millions of IOPs for large and small file
transactions."
Mario Martinez, Netlist Senior
Director of Marketing, said, "The CPU and RAID controller have
become major obstacles to efficiently scaling parallel
storage. With the team at HPC Systems and Nyriad, we
introduce a new architecture based on our NVvault NVDIMM to bypass
these obstacles altogether and deliver an innovative and superior
performing solution."
Nyriad Chief Technology Officer Alex St.
John stated, "Netlist's NVvault combined with using the GPU
for storage processing gives us the maximum possible IOPs and a
solution for overcoming the performance challenges introduced by
the Meltdown and Spectre patches to the operating system.
Through the utilization of NVDIMMs to transfer data directly to the
GPU for storage-processing, the Linux kernel obstacles are bypassed
and we can deliver enhanced performance and resilience."

collaboration please visit Netlist's booth at the Persistent
Memory Summit, in San Jose, CA on
Wednesday January 24th,
held during the SNIA Annual Membership Symposium.
Netlist's NVvault® DDR4 is an NVDIMM-N that provides data
acceleration and protection in a JEDEC standard DDR4 interface. It
is designed to be integrated into industry standard server or
storage solutions. NVvault is a persistent memory technology
that has been widely adopted by industry standard servers and
storage systems. By combining the high performance of DDR4
DRAM with the non-volatility of NAND Flash, NVvault improves the
performance and data preservation found in storage virtualization,
RAID, cache protection, and data logging applications requiring
high-throughput.
Nyriad's NSULATE™ solves these problems by replacing RAID
controllers with GPUs for all Linux storage applications. This
enables the GPUs to perform double duty as both I/O controllers and
compute accelerators in the same integrated solution. The
combination of Netlist NV Memory with NSULATE™ produces the best of
both worlds, with low-latency IOPS achievable by any storage
solution combined with maximum data resilience, security,
throughput and efficiency in the same architecture.
