Energy used for memory, network, and storage accesses will contribute almost 60% of the total. As subsequent advances and scaling in computing occur, the percentage of energy needed to move and store data appears likely to grow even further. =0A=0AMoving to Exascale requires innovative solutions for reducing memory and I/O power utilization.=0A=0AIn the past, access delays to external memory have been addressed by caching within processors. Are there equivalent options on the horizon that could address storage and I/O power usage to enable continued advances in leading-edge computing?
