What You’ll Learn

• Project Overview:
  • The intern will identify suitable set of converged memory/storage workloads, evaluate the same and analyze the performance bottlenecks of the identified workloads on top of PoC CMM-H device. The intern will then proceed to propose software/hardware solutions, design, and maybe implement/evaluate some of the proposed optimizations to increase the value of the device for the identified workloads.
• Skills You’ll Learn:
  • Microbenchmarking and performance bottleneck analysis of a real-world PoC device
  • System level value evaluation and enhancement of a future device
