Samsung CXL Technology Helps Data Centers Expand Scale

With the rapid development of High-performance computing applications such as artificial intelligence, machine learning and cloud computing, the data center is facing unprecedented pressure. To address the unprecedented shortage of computing power in data servers and IT systems, Samsung Semiconductor has adopted Compute Express Link™ The CXL™ standard has launched products such as CXL memory extenders to help data centers improve performance, reduce costs, increase efficiency, and expand scale< Br/>


&Nbsp;
CXL is a new open interconnection standard supported by the industry. It can support different types of network devices to handle the workload of High-performance computing more effectively. CXL allows network devices to bypass the limitations of host processors and quickly and directly connect to each other, thereby improving the performance and efficiency of data centers in handling large-scale applications< Br/>
&Nbsp;
Last year, Samsung launched its first 512GB CXL memory module, the CXL memory extender. This product utilizes CXL technology to achieve ultra-high memory capacity in existing IT systems. In a standard computer architecture, the central processing unit (CPU) or host processor can only access DRAM inserted in a dual in-line Memory module (DIMM). Large scale applications often require a large amount of memory, so like running a large data center, memory capacity needs to be very large. But there will be a limit to memory capacity, and once the server reaches this limit, enterprises often have only one choice: to build a new system with a higher memory capacity limit< Br/>
&Nbsp;
The innovation of CXL memory extender lies in its ability to achieve ultra-high memory capacity in existing IT systems. With the CXL memory extender, the network's memory capacity can be expanded to tens of megabytes, while also greatly reducing latency. The CXL memory extender can also help businesses reduce server operating costs and improve memory efficiency. The secret lies in memory pooling technology, which allows host processors to only extract the memory capacity they need from the memory pool. At the same time, advanced security features can also set memory pool access permission restrictions for different hosts. The hot swapping feature allows administrators to shut down the server without shutting it down; Hot; In this case, directly replace CXL DRAM< Br/>
&Nbsp;
The CXL memory extender is a Samsung semiconductor that includes the Scalable Memory Development Kit (SMDK); CXL Innovation Roadmap&# quo; The first product in. Through these products, data centers can easily manage and expand memory with innovative versatility and lower costs. In the next few years, we expect the server demand for artificial intelligence, machine learning, virtual machines and other High-performance computing applications to continue to grow explosively. We hope to share more innovative CXL memory products and technologies to help more enterprises cope with the challenges of the ultra large scale era.
