The OlympusMons Awards, launched by Huawei in 2019, are designed to steer research in foundational data storage theories, overcome key technical challenges, accelerate the industrial application of scientific breakthroughs, and foster collaboration between industry, academia, and research institutions. Since its inception, the awards have attracted over 240 scholars from 12 countries worldwide. To date, 5 OlympusMons Awards and 13 OlympusMons Pioneer Awards have been presented. The OlympusMons Awards have become a leading and highly regarded accolade in the data storage industry.
The 2024 OlympusMons Awards will center on tackling key challenges in the AI era, including limited bandwidth between xPUs and storage, low utilization of computing clusters, extended inference latency, and rising data storage costs driven by rapid data growth and increased data value. The event invites innovative solutions from researchers worldwide to address these pressing issues.
Learn MoreThe widespread adoption of AI applications has resulted in a significant surge in data volume that demands long-term storage, with cold data increasingly transitioning to warm data. This shift underscores the need for innovative, low-cost, large-capacity media application technologies to build storage systems optimized for maximum cost-efficiency per bit.
As large AI models follow the scaling laws to continue growing in scale and are applied to center/edge training and inference, it is essential to explore technologies like data reduction, memory semantic storage, long-term memory storage, multi-modal data management, and efficient retrieval. These advancements will establish a robust data foundation tailored for the evolving AI era.
The 2024 contest has two OlympusMons Awards and five OlympusMons Pioneer Awards.
