Flash Memory Summit

Program

It is ideal for consumer applications such as cellphones, digital cameras, and music players, and is also useful in computers, communications systems, and military/defense applications. It can replace hard disks for storage in applications where its higher cost is balanced by its smaller size, greater ruggedness, and lower power consumption.

The summit consists of:

Half-day forums
Panel discussions
Keynotes
Half-day pre-conference seminars

Paper sessions
One-hour tutorials
Special sessions

Typical topics of interest include:

SSDs
Flash technology
Persistent memory
Flash on the memory bus
Enterprise storage systems
All-flash arrays
Controllers
New non-volatile technologies
NVMe/PCIe storage
Application acceleration
3D NAND/3D XPoint

Market research
User best practices/experiences
Security
Fabrics (NVMe-oF)
Performance analysis/testing
Cloud computing
Flash storage networking
Consumer/mobile applications
Embedded applications
Data recovery/erasure
Software-defined storage

Intended Audience:

Hardware and software designers
