Samsung Establishes First CXL Basic Verification Center Certified by RedHat
TapTechNews June 26th news, Samsung yesterday (June 25th) issued an announcement announcing the successful establishment of the industry's first ComputeExpressLink™ (CXL™) basic verification center certified by RedHat.
Samsung said that it has established the Samsung Memory R & D Center (SMRC) in Hwaseong City, South Korea, which can directly verify various server configuration elements from CXL-related products to software. Products verified through this center can immediately apply to RedHat for product registration, thereby speeding up the product development speed.
Samsung successfully verified its CMM-D product in the industry for the first time this month, which marks the first achievement of Samsung through this infrastructure, and the company can also provide customized solutions for customers by optimizing products in the early development stage.
TapTechNews reported last December that Samsung announced the successful first verification of the CXL memory interoperability in the latest version of RedHat's system in the customer environment, which is the first time in the industry.
Samsung launched the world's first memory expansion module for servers based on the CXL interface in May 2021, which is manufactured with DDR5 particles and can easily expand the server memory to the TB-level capacity.
The CXL interface and protocol were launched in 2019. It is a protocol jointly launched by Intel and many manufacturers such as Samsung, Cisco, Alibaba, Google, and Dell. It can realize efficient interconnection between the CPU and GPU, FPGA acceleration cards, and share large-capacity memory.
Due to the exponential growth of the demand for data throughput and memory in emerging fields such as generative artificial intelligence, self-driving, and in-memory database (IMDB), the demand for systems with larger memory bandwidth and capacity is also rapidly increasing.
The CXL, as a unified interface standard, connects various processors such as the CPU, GPU, and memory devices through the PCIe® interface, resolving the limitations of existing systems in terms of speed, delay, and scalability.
