Agile memory sharing solution leverages
Compute Express Link® (CXL®) technology to
dramatically improve performance and reduce TCO for AI applications
and in-memory databases
SANTA
CLARA, Calif., Aug. 6, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- XConn Technologies (XConn), the innovation
leader in next-generation interconnect technology for the future of
high-performance computing and AI applications, and MemVerge®, a
leader in AI-first Big Memory Software, today announced they will
be demonstrating the industry's first scalable CXL memory sharing
solution during the Future of Memory and Storage (FMS) 2024, in the
XConn booth #1246, August 6-8, 2024
at the Santa Clara Convention
Center. Together, XConn and MemVerge will showcase how CXL
technology can be used to dramatically improve performance and
reduce TCO for AI, data analytics, in-memory databases and other
high performance computing applications.

"Our benchmarking shows that CXL memory sharing is an
exceptionally effective solution to improve the performance and
reduce the total cost of ownership (TCO) for in-memory databases
such as SAP HANA," said Gerry Fan,
CEO, XConn. "During FMS, we will further demonstrate, with
MemVerge, the dramatic performance impact CXL memory sharing can
have for AI applications, especially for inference of various AI
models. By combining MemVerge's intelligent tiering software with
XConn's high performance CXL interconnect switch, we are showing
just how effective CXL is at accelerating high demand
applications."
"XConn opens the door to a new tier of memory attached to a
switched fabric that will accelerate CXL adoption across a variety
of use cases," said Charles Fan,
CEO, and co-founder of MemVerge. "MemVerge software unlocks the
performance potential of fabric-attached memory by allowing
applications to share memory, and we're excited to be partnering
with XConn in the industry's first demonstration of a scalable CXL
memory sharing solution during FMS 2024."
Now sampling, the XConn "Apollo" CXL switch is the industry's
first and only CXL 2.0 interconnect solution that also works with
shipping CXL 1.1 server processors from Intel and AMD. Designed to
accelerate the system design process to power the future of
AI-enabled computing, the XConn "Apollo" CXL 2.0 switch has become
the industry standard solution to support environments that want to
take advantage of a CXL Memory Pool to remove traditional memory
barriers and revolutionize memory architecture.
Innovative in its design, the XConn Apollo switch offers system
developers the opportunity to future-proof devices to capitalize on
the breakthrough performance of new CXL interconnect technology
with the industry's first CXL 2.0 switch, while also supporting
PCIe 5.0 standards. Both PCIe and CXL can now be supported in a
single design. With 2,048 GB/s of total bandwidth and 256 lanes,
the chip offers unprecedented flexibility for system designers that
want to capitalize on JBOG (Just-a-Bunch-Of-GPUs) and JBOA
(Just-a-Bunch-Of-Accelerators) processing configurations.
XConn's JP Jiang, Senior Vice President of Product Marketing and
Management will share more on the benefits of the industry's first
scalable CXL memory sharing solution in his FMS presentation, "A
Solution of CXL Memory Sharing and Pooling System and Performance
Study," to be presented during the CXL Memory Pooling session
on Wednesday, August 7 at
9:45 a.m. Register to attend FMS by
