Announcing Our New CXL Report

Sketch of a CXL 3.0 fabric. There are four switches in the middle of the diagram on the top left and right and the bottom left and right. Each switch is connected to all of the others via CXL ISL Links, which are represented by a simple straight line between each one. Each switch is also connected to two hosts through two CXL Links, so there are eight hosts in the sketch. The two right-side switches are also connected to two CXL memory modules, which connect to the CXL link to the switch through a yellow box called "CXL MC" representing the CXL Memory Controller and to a red box marked "Mem" representing the memory chips.The Memory Guy is pleased to announce general availability of a new Objective Analysis Detailed Report: CXL Looks for the Perfect Home.

Since Compute Express Link (CXL) is so important to members of the DRAM market and the hyperscale computing community, the report focuses on those sectors, but it offers broad enough information to be useful to anyone involved in data processing.

This study carefully investigates CXL and its market to examine how large of an opportunity this technology is likely to become.

It begins by setting the scene for CXL, explaining the problems facing computing today, and then shows the basic structure of CXL, followed by discussions of how it will be used to address these problems.

The focus then moves to a definition of nonuniform memory architectures (NUMA) and fast memory access, showing how the support for these allows CXL to connect persistent memories of all kinds into any computing system.

Naturally, CXL will require special software support, so this support is explained with both its requirements and with the status of existing efforts.

All of the preceding information is then drawn together to show how the market is most likely to develop, and a forecast is built based on this understanding.

Finally, the report concludes with discussions of CXL’s likely influence on OEMs, server purchasers, and the memory business as a whole, predicting how the technology will impact each of them.

The full Table of Contents for this 60-page report can be reviewed on the Objective Analysis website at http://Objective-Analysis.com/reports/#CXL, where the document can be easily purchased for immediate download.

Have a look.  This will be a great asset to anyone who is working to define a CXL strategy, or to refine their existing plan for CXL use or development.
