Why Flash Storage…….. Timing is Perfect!

In the last 10 years…

CPU Speed: Performance increase roughly 8-10x

DRAM Speed: Performance increase roughly 7-9x

Network Speed: Performance increase of 100x

Bus Speed: Performance increased roughly 20x

Disk speed: Performance increased 1.2x

IT Infrastructure Challenges

From 1980 to 2010, CPU performance has grown 60% per year*

…and yet, disk performance has grown ~5% per year during that same period**

From 1980 to 2010, CPU performance has grown 60% per year*

…and yet, disk performance has grown ~5% per year during that same period**

CPU performance has grown 10x in the last decade

While storage has grown capacity it has been unable to keep up in performance

Systems are now Latency & IO bound resulting in a significant performance gap

CAPI – an open invitation to innovate on POWER

FPGA

Power Processor

Coherent Attached Processor Proxy (CAPP) in processor

• Unit on processor that extends coherency to an attached device

• On processor directory responds on behalf of off-chip device (Filtering snoops)

Coherency protocol tunneled over standard PCIe• Eliminates the need for special I/Os and protocol logic

– CAPI utilizes standard Posted Write and Non-posted Reads

• Reduces the complexity and bandwidth requirements of the attached device

Enables attached device to be a peer to the processor

• Simplifies programming model between application• Enables device to use same effective address as application

running in processor• Eliminates the cumbersome I/O Device Driver requirements

– Pinned memory not required
