“Phison’s aiDAPTIV+ software is quicker to implement than Sandisk’s hardware, speeds up AI model training by avoiding external storage token access, and enables smaller GPUs to take on larger jobs. Sandisk’s High Bandwidth Flash (HBF) promises much higher speed, but will require semiconductor-level hardware and firmware developments for each GPU manufacturer.
. . .
Think of Phison’s aiDAPTIV concept as enabling smaller GPUs to act like bigger ones with more memory, putting AI training in reach of medium-sized businesses and small-scale edge systems. Sandisk’s HBF enables large GPU servers, hamstrung by memory limitations, to train the largest models by expanding their memory capacity to a high degree.”- blocksandfiles.com
