Breaking the GPU Memory Wall for AI Inference
Presenters: Daniel Valdivia, Engineer - MinIO | Raj Grewal, Strategic AI Advisor - MinIO | Patrick Riel, Technical Marketing Engineer - NVIDIA | Adit Ranadive, Sr. Software Architect - NVIDIA
As AI models continue to grow in size and context windows expand, GPU memory has become a critical limitation for achieving fast, efficient inference. When context memory capacity is exceeded, organizations experience increased latency, context recomputation, reduced throughput, and inefficient GPU utilization.

Join MinIO for a technical discussion on how MinIO MemKV addresses the growing challenge of inference context memory, with participation from NVIDIA on the underlying infrastructure demands of AI inference.

Learn how MemKV provides a distributed, high-performance context memory layer that extends GPU memory capacity using RDMA-connected, memory-mapped NVMe storage.
