Micron Claims Fastest SSD; Buys AI Startup
Micron Technology introduced what it claims is the world’s fastest solid state drive (SSD), and also announced the acquisition of FWDNXT (pronounced “forward next”), a startup that specializes in neural networking with a product lineup that includes a series of inference engine modules based on Xilinx FPGAs.
The announcements were made at the Micron Insight conference held at Pier 27 in San Francisco. The conference focused on how to accelerate intelligent systems by improving data access and analysis speed in edge devices.
