Solidigm AI Inference Storage Stack Integration with the Python Ecosystem

I will demonstrate Solidigm and BF3 AI Lab's joint inference work based on the Solidigm Ignition stack, along with its integration with the Python ecosystem. CSAL Background CSAL (Cloud Storage Acceleration Layer) is a solution for big data and AI. It is an open-source user-space FTL, cache, and IO trace component designed to accelerate AI and big data storage systems within SPDK (merged into the mainline). Commercially, it powers Alibaba's cloud storage systems.
