#80: Thinking Fast & Slow: Intuition, Reasoning, and Emerging Memory

Storage Developer Conference

Our human brain can be modeled as two distinctly different systems: a real time intuition system, and a background reasoning system. As we move into the AI compute era, Emerging Memory technologies play an increasingly important role in overcoming the limitations of DRAM and NAND. The commercialization of Emerging Memory will therefore accelerate our realization of powerful AI systems. In this talk, the speaker will: • Demonstrate the human brain has two distinct systems • Discuss the best fit compute architecture to model each AI system • Articulate how DRAM and NAND are applied to the compute architectures • Identify the key limitations of DRAM and NAND • Present and classify some Emerging Memory alternatives • Discuss the Emerging Memory system enhancements • Identify who is doing what (by when) in the Emerging Memory landscape • Articulate the unique challenges in realizing an AI intuition system • Propose how Emerging Memory may solve some intuition problems • Point to the future of AI systems based on Emerging Memory
