다. 제  목 : MangoBoost: Academic Researcher's Road to the World-Leading Startup

라. 연  사 : 김장우(망고부스트 대표/서울대학교 교수)

마. 내  용 : 

Modern high-performance computer systems (e.g., datacenters,

supercomputers) are deploying an increasing number of high-performance
devices (e.g., GPU, SSD, NPU, NIC) per server to maximize the target
application’s overall performance, while minimizing the system’s total
cost of operation. To achieve the goal, the next-generation
datacenters aim to deploy a newly-designed data processing unit (DPU)
(a.k.a., IPU, xPU, smart-Xdevice) which is specially designed to
orchestrate various devices in the most efficient way. In this talk, I
will first introduce key challenges in developing the next-generation
servers. Next, I will explain what ideal DPUs should look like and how
they should perform. Finally, I will present how the state-of-the-art
DPUs provided by MangoBoost can achieve the design goals.
