REMINDER! PROPOSALS ARE DUE APRIL 3! The OCP Takes Action Against Silent Data Corruption! In the realm of computing systems, there lurks an insidious threat - Silent Data Corruption (SDC). A hardware-induced SDC is an error that occurs when data is corrupted within a computing system, often without any indication from the built-in error detection mechanisms. This can happen due to manufacturing defects, aging components, or even environmental factors. These errors may lead to anomalous/unpredictable software behavior, causing incorrect calculations, potentially leading to consequences like the loss of data. The OCP's Server Project has established the Server Component Resilience Workstream, focused explicitly on tackling hardware-induced Silent Data Corruption. This workstream, comprising key industry players Meta, Google, Intel, ARM, AMD, Microsoft, and NVIDIA, is launching a request for research proposals to fuel innovation in detection and prevention of SDC. The OCP Foundation is inviting researchers to submit proposals in the focus areas. Researchers interested in contributing to this groundbreaking initiative can submit their proposals by April 3, 2024 Read the full story and learn more here: [https://bit.ly/4biquWo]

Also at SC24 next week, check out the Thursday Birds of a Feather: Open-Source Hardware Tools - Advancing Architecture Research and Chip Prototyping. Date: Thursday, November 21, 2024 Time: 12:15pm - 1:15pm (EST) Room: B201 Special invited speakers: Clifford Grossner (Open ComputeProject), and Andreas Olofsson (Zero ASIC) and Session leaders: Kazutomo Yoshii (ANL), Kentaro Sano(RIKEN), and John Shalf (LBNL) As the demand for performance and energy efficiency rises in the post-Moore era, this BOF session delves into the transformative role of domain-specific accelerators and open-source hardware tools for HPC and scientific edge computing. Join us as we explore emerging trends, challenges, and opportunities in architecture research and chip prototyping. See the details here: https://lnkd.in/g6sjZyzj

Heading to SC24 next week in Atlanta? Check out the OCP Keynote at the Workshop on RESource DISaggregation in High-Performance Computing on Sunday morning! “Open Chiplet Ecosystems and Economies for Disaggregated Systems” The increase in demand for compute performance at scale has never been greater, and the current silicon supply chain delivering monolithic and generic SoCs can no longer deliver the generation over generation increase in performance needed to satiate this demand. Chiplets offer the promise of diversity to better match workloads to computational infrastructure, creating large-scale high-performance computers with pools of heterogenous processors that can be dynamically composed to provide virtual compute nodes specialized for particular workloads. Unfortunately, Chiplet technology today is mostly used in proprietary settings by a few large SoC suppliers, limiting the ability of the market to innovate. The OCP Community believes that opening the silicon supply chain enabling innovation in specialized silicon processing elements by smaller companies is necessary to meet the future demands of high-performance computing. This talk will cover the ongoing work at the OCP Open Chiplet Economy Project focused on enabling a new silicon supply chain with an open chiplet marketplace intended to foster the innovation and emerging market for specialized chiplet-based System in Package (SiP) SoCs, enabling composable systems.
