discussion Raja Koduri joins SanDisk to work on HBF

[moocow]

Raja Koduri of AMD fame (less so at Intel) is joining SanDisk's advisory team on High Bandwidth Flash technology. According to the article, HBF is aiming to put a lot of flash memory on the GPU. SanDisk's own press release is aiming to put 4TB of flash memory on a GPU. Let's hope it's cheap enough for consumer GPU later down the road.

Raja Koduri's mission to deliver high bandwidth memory for GPUs has taken a turn that could enable 4TB of VRAM on AI cards — joins Sandisk to advise on SSD tech that could feed AI accelerators

Sandisk has appointed Koduri to its HBF technical advisory board as an inaugural member, alongside Professor David Patterson.

In related news, Sandisk is partnering with SK Hynix to work on HBF with a target release date of 2027. IMO, since it's suppose to give way more memory for the same price as HBM and meant to pair with HBM, probably won't see a cheap implementation.
