- This paper is the first publication to give an in-depth evaluation of the impact of Intel's new non-volatile memory technology on high-performance computing applications, using the NEXTGenIO hardware that was co-designed by the authors. The memory technology has only been commercially available since early April 2019. The paper demonstrates that the new memory delivers clear performance and energy efficiency gains. The results from the paper are used by both Fujitsu (https://www.fujitsu.com/nl/about/resources/news/press-releases/2019/emeai-20190813-fujitsu-paves-the-way-to-exascale-computing.html) and Intel (https://newsroom.intel.com/news/intels-data-centric-portfolio-accelerates-convergence-high-performance-computing-ai-workloads/#gs.qjwzdt) to advertise the quality of their product. Presented at Supercomputing 2019, the world's premier conference in the field, with a paper acceptance rate of 20%.
