#OCPSummit23: CXL for AI-Powered Data Centers

The emerging Compute Express Link (CXL) is making big progress as the cache-coherent interconnect for processors, memory expansion and accelerators. At #OCPSummit23, we got and update from Siamak Tavallaei, Advisor to the Board from CXL Consortium:

  • He discusses the three major elements of the AI-powered data center challenge: the compute element, the memory needed for the compute, and the interconnect.
  • He explains how the CXL specification allows for the creation of an environment with many interconnected systems through high-speed, low-latency interconnects that participate with coherent memory.
  • He elaborates on how CXL enables us to interface with emerging memory technologies, providing larger memory blocks to accelerator elements and increasing the bandwidth available to compute elements.
