Data Storage and Processing in the Cognitive Era — •Giovanni Cherubini — IBM Research - Zurich

In this talk, I will present the emerging vision of cognitive data systems. A data system comprises physical devices that provide means to acquire, store and modify data for analytics and communications tasks, with the goal of obtaining high-value information. With the need to deal with exponentially growing amounts of data, however, the system size and complexity present major challenges for data storage and processing. In addition, with the approaching end of Moore's law, there is a dire need to significantly improve the efficiency of data systems in terms of cost and energy. To address these challenges, cognitive data systems will require novel learning algorithms and computing paradigms. The talk will be divided into two parts, focusing on data storage and processing aspects. First, I will present advanced technologies for big data storage systems, with focus on magnetic tape drives of future generations, targeting areal densities of several hundred gigabits per square inch on a flexible medium. Next, I will introduce in-memory computing techniques and devices that are well suited for novel computing systems, which are based on non-von Neumann architectures and aim at achieving the efficiency of the human brain.
