Attending Meetings at APTS

  • All meetings are listed in Pacific Time zone.
  • Zoom dial-in information is listed in Causeway
  • Keynotes and training are open to any attendee (registered for APTS).
  • DMTF and SNIA WG meetings are open to any employee of a member company of the DMTF or SNIA, respectively.
  • Members of Alliance Partners and Academic Alliance members may attend the working bodies specified in their work register. As courtesy, please identify yourself to the chair.
  • Forums are open only to employee of a member company of the Forum (and invited guests).
  • TC and Board meetings are only open to designated representatives (board members, TC WG/Forum chairs, etc.) and invited guests (these meetings are marked private/closed). An asterisk (*) next to a meeting title means it is a closed/private meeting.
  • Rooms that do not list a meeting (or do not say "unavailable") are available as breakout session rooms on a first come, first serve basis. To reserve a breakout session room, contact Shannon Marsoun or stop by the registration desk during the week of the event.

Keynote Presentations

  • Storage Networking Industry Association (SNIA)
    "SDXI: A new vision towards memory to memory data movement and acceleration"

    As application demands increase, a few trends are coming to the fore:

    • Single-threaded performance bumps don’t suffice to boost application performance.
    • Data in use memory limitations are resulting in designers looking for memory expansion with new memory links and memory types.
    • Computer architecture designers have long advocated the use of domain-specific accelerators and data movement accelerators

    Given the diversity of accelerator and memory technologies, standardizing memory to memory data movement and acceleration that is independent of interconnect and implementation form factors is needed.

    SNIA's Smart Data Accelerator Interface(SDXI) Technical Working Group(TWG) is at the forefront of standardizing this as it works towards a v1.0 release of SNIA SDXI specification.

    In addition to standardizing an architectural memory-to-memory data movement interface, SDXI is seen as a key enabler technology for persistent memory technologies and computational storage use cases.

    This talk will summarize various use cases/application acceleration patterns SDXI enables, the features discussed in the SDXI v0.9-rev1 specification out for public review, and SNIA's efforts around standardizing this work.

  • PCI-SIG
    "PCI-SIG® – Providing Foundational IO Technologies"

    For 30 years, PCI-SIG® has supported industry IO needs by developing specifications and delivering a predictable path through to implementation compliance. PCI-SIG defines the PCI Express® (PCIe®) I/O specifications and related form factors, with 900+ member companies located worldwide.

    This talk will provide an overview of PCI-SIG itself and PCIe, the status and key features for PCIe 5.0, 6.0 and planned 7.0 specifications, and will touch upon current and future areas for collaboration between our organizations.

  • CXL Consortium (CXL)
    "Compute Express Link™ (CXL™): A Coherent Interface for Ultra-High-Speed Transfers"

    CXL™ is an open industry-standard interconnect offering coherency and memory semantics using high-bandwidth, low-latency connectivity between host processor and devices such as accelerators, memory buffers, and smart I/O devices. This talk will explore the features and benefits of CXL and review new features added in the 2.0 specification and subsequent ECNs including support for switching, persistent memory and improvements in the areas of device management, RAS, security, and memory interleaving.

  • Keynote Slides Available for DMTF Members

    The keynote presentation slides have been made available to DMTF members. If you are a DMTF member with an active user account, you may log in to access the keynote presentations.
