Samsung patents method to store AI model data on specialized SSDs
Samsung describes a way to manage large AI models by storing their core data, called embedding tables, on a specific type of fast storage drive known as a memory semantic SSD. The system moves this data to a graphics processing unit for processing and then sends the updated results back to the drive to keep the model current.
In the filing’s own words
A method and apparatus of managing an embedding table, an electric device, a storage medium, a system and a computer program product, wherein the method includes: acquiring input data; looking up embedding vectors corresponding to the input data from an embedding table of a model stored in a memory semantic solid state drive (MS SSD); transferring the embedding vectors from the MS SSD to a graphics processing unit (GPU); and instructing the GPU to transfer updated embedding vectors to the MS SSD for updating the embedding table, the updated embedding vectors acquired by training the model based on the embedding vectors transferred to the GPU.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. A method of managing an embedding table by a processor, the method comprising acquiring input data; looking up embedding vectors corresponding to the input data from an embedding table of a model stored in a memory semantic solid state drive (MS SSD); transferring the embedding vectors acquired from the MS SSD to a graphics processing unit (GPU); and instructing the GPU to transfer updated embedding vectors to the MS SSD for updating the embedding table, the updated embedding vectors acquired by training the model based on the embedding vectors transferred to the GPU.
