Compute Express Link (CXL): Advancing Coherent Connectivity
DescriptionCompute Express Link™ (CXL™) – an open industry standard interconnect – offers coherency and memory semantics using high-bandwidth, low-latency connectivity between the host processor and devices such as accelerators, memory buffers, and smart I/O devices. CXL advances memory expansion and fabric management capabilities to increase system scalability and flexibility across multiple compute domains, enabling resource sharing for higher performance, reduced software stack complexity, and lower overall system cost. The fabric enhancements and memory expansion features included in CXL 3.0 delivered new levels of composability required in HPC and modern data center environments.

Earlier this year, the CXL Consortium hosted the first official testing of CXL 1.1 products, Pre-FYI testing for CXL 2.0, and rolled out the first iteration of the CXL Integrators List. The HPC community will get a sneak peek at CXL products entering the market in the CXL Consortium booth (#1301).

This session will kick off with an update from the Consortium and introduce enhancements in the latest release of the CXL specification. The presentation will also highlight the challenges in the HPC industry and explore how CXL can disaggregate resources and enable composable systems. Additionally, the presentation will introduce CXL technology demos from our member companies showcasing CXL solutions, multi-vendor demos, and proofs-of-concept to highlight beneficial use cases for HPC and modern data center environments. Attendees will have the opportunity to ask CXL expert questions about the technology and gain insight into how CXL can help address challenges in the HPC community.
