HDD Computational Storage Benchmarking

Abstract

This presentation looks at a computational storage use-case within the Human Cell Atlas genomics research and discovers that the deployed HW CS engine is insufficient and why this is the case. The presentation shows the journey from standard system bench marking to micro-benchmarking specifically instruction per cycle analysis (IPC). This presentation also details the programming techniques used along the way, including intrinsic SIMD and inline assembler programming.
