Tachyum Storage Strategy and Direction for Prodigy Data Center Deployments

Introduction

Tachyum is best known for its flagship product, Prodigy, the world’s first Universal Processor that unifies the functionality of CPU, GPGPU, and TPU into a single monolithic device. The Prodigy Universal Processor delivers industry leading performance and efficiency for next generation supercomputers and requires cutting-edge networking infrastructure to complement the computing power for the supercomputer clusters.

This paper begins with an overview of the different types of storage deployed in data centers and how they are used. It continues with the strategy that Tachyum has developed to provide the optimal storage infrastructure to support Prodigy compute nodes in upcoming supercomputer deployments, the storage strategy implemented by a leading HPC lab, and the paper concludes with a glimpse into Tachyum’s future direction based on the trends in high performance storage technologies.
