Kioxia Corporation announced the KIOXIA GP1 Series PCIe® 6.0 NVMe™ SSDs,
the first product in its KIOXIA GP Series of Super High IOPS SSDs optimized for
GPU direct access. Building on the KIOXIA GP Series technology introduced
earlier this year1, the KIOXIA GP1 Series delivers up to 10 million random read
IOPS2 using KIOXIA XL-FLASH™ generation 2 flash memory, enabling flash-based
memory extension to help address the growing performance and memory demands of
AI infrastructure. Evaluation samples will be available to select customers by
the end of 20263. The KIOXIA GP1 Series will be showcased at FMS: the Future of
Memory and Storage, taking place August 4 – 6 in Santa Clara, California.
The KIOXIA GP1 Series is designed to support emerging AI storage
architectures, which extend High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) as a fast flash memory
media-based tier. This approach lets AI systems access larger datasets at a
significantly lower cost than adding more HBM4, while improving GPU
utilization.
KIOXIA GP1 Series SSDs leverage KIOXIA XL-FLASH generation 2 low-latency,
high-performance flash memory to deliver significantly higher IOPS4,
finer-grained 512-byte data access, and lower power consumption per I/O
compared to conventional TLC-based SSDs. The architecture is designed to scale
from today's 10 million random read IOPS to future generations targeting up to
100 million IOPS.
Key features of the KIOXIA GP1 Series include:
Designed to PCIe®
6.0 and NVMe™ 2.2 specifications
Up to 10 million
random read IOPS at a 512-byte block size2
Available in E3.S,
E1.S 9.5 mm/15mm form factors, with cold-plate liquid cooling capability in
E3.S and E1.S 9.5mm form factors (all form factors support traditional
air-cooled environments)
