Hot Chips 2026: Applying High Bandwidth Flash (HBF)
Summary
Hot Chips 2026: Applying High Bandwidth Flash (HBF) explores a flash-based memory approach designed to expand AI workloads beyond DRAM. It reviews how HBF integrates with compute, the software and architectural changes required, and the cost versus bandwidth trade-offs, noting substantial non-plug-and-play challenges and potential use cases in ML systems.
