AI Inference Gains a Near-Compute Memory Standard with HBF OCP Spec
TL;DR
SanDisk and SK hynix released the High Bandwidth Flash (HBF) technical specification through the Open Compute Project to standardize a near‑compute, high‑bandwidth memory solution for AI inference; with Google and Tenstorrent joining as consortia members, the spec defines system interfaces, electrical and packaging guidelines, reliability, and a software read/write guide, enabling HBF to coexist with High Bandwidth Memory and accelerating AI workloads. The spec is openly published to foster an early ecosystem, and Sandisk will discuss NAND’s role in AI at the FMS conference in Santa Clara.
