Resource-disaggregated platform can realize IO resource (device) nodes separation from compute nodes at some distance and dynamic reconfiguration of their connectivity. In this talk, we first introduce ExpEther technology which achieves resource-disaggregated architecture. Resource management using OpenStack Ironic is a key component for reconfiguring logical connectivity between compute nodes and target resources (NIC, SSD, GPGPU, etc.). Finally, PostgreSQL acceleration on GPGPU (called "PG-Strom") is presented as a use-case of reconfiguration of resource-disaggregated platform.
Shinji Abe is a Senior Manager for IT Platform Division of NEC Corporation in Tokyo, Japan. He is in charge of development of the Service Acceleration Platform with ExpEther technology.
KaiGai Kohei is lead developer of the PG-Strom project. He has more than ten years experiences around open source software development of Linux, PostgreSQL and so on. Especially, he has contributed some of core functionality of PostgreSQL on the area of security enhancement and pluggable... Read More →
