    Rise of Volumetric Data and Scale-Up Enterprise Computing Sponsored by: Atos, Numascale and Intel Mise en Scene This paper captures the continued collaboration among Intel, Atos and Numascale to enable cost effective Scale-Up ecosystem on x86 server platform. Intel is the technology provider (QuickPath Interconnect, Ultra Path Interconnect), Atos is the server platform provider (BullSequana S), Numascale is the node controller architecture provider (xNC). The volumetric data is rising fast, how to process 50+ Zettabytes of today’s data through efficient computing is not a small task to say the least. This paper describes the plan, methodology and the roadmap to address this critical computing need. It will introduce Atos platform with external Node Controller (xNC) architecture, jointly developed with Numascale and creating customer value from one generation of Scale-Up server system to the next. 02 The Rise of Volumetric Data Processing: AI, Machine Learning and Natural Language Depth.Scale.Latency.Gravity.Volume As the planet hurls through the galaxy, satellites circle the globe, we humans continue to consume, build, model and render data at unprecedented levels. 200 175 150 129.5 101 100 79.5 64.5 Data volume in zetabytes 50.5 50 41 33 26 18 12.5 15.5 6.5 9 2 5 0 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018* 2019* 2020* 2021* 2022* 2023* 2024* 2025* The current data forecast for 2025 is almost One-dimensional (1D), two-dimensional (2D), more bits all help when using AI data models 175ZB (Zettabytes).
