The Emerging Memory-Centric Data Center

Oct 15, 2024

During the last few years, we have witnessed explosive growth in the data center,
driven by the pervasive use of public cloud services, big data analytics, and most
recently by the development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) enabled by power and data-
hungry GPUs. This growth and changes in the type of workloads being run have
prompted a re-thinking of the data center infrastructure, with new demands for high-
density power distribution and increasingly water-cooled servers.

The data center landscape is profoundly transforming, driven by the relentless demand
for higher performance, improved efficiency, and increased scalability. At the heart of
this evolution lies a revolution in memory and computing technologies, especially
around deploying AI-specific infrastructures and reshaping the architecture and
capabilities of modern data centers. All data centers will become AI data centers to
some extent.

This white paper explores the impact of new technologies on memory providers and
asserts that advanced technologies such as high bandwidth memory (HBM) are
fundamentally altering the industry landscape.
