CXL: Getting Ready for Take-off
Compute Express Link (CXL) is a new server interconnect that’s going to change computing by allowing memory in different servers to be pooled and shared, by expanding capacity to petabytes, and by making performance, availability, security and mobility composable.
An industry refresh is needed to make CXL a reality. That’s why CXL-compatible processors, memory chips, switches, expanders, and CXL fabric management software are on the way.
On August 2nd, the CXL Consortium and MemVerge hosted a full-day forum titled, “CXL: Getting Ready for Take-off.” The event kicked-off with an update from Siamak Tavallaei, president of the CXL Consortium, and Chief Systems Architect at Google Systems Infrastructure. Siamak was followed by CXL presentations from the world leaders in processors, memory, fabric software, and composable infrastructure.
