CXL Fulfills AI's Need for Open Industry Standard Interconnect
By Debendra Das Sharma , EETimes (July 16, 2024)
We have been in a virtuous cycle of innovation for decades now where dramatic improvements in compute capability—primarily driven by extraordinary advances in transistor and process technologies—have enabled diverse applications. These applications, including generative-AI, are driving an insatiable demand for heterogeneous computing, memory bandwidth, memory capacity and interconnect bandwidth to satisfy the demand of applications.

The need for a robust interconnect standard
While PCIe is a great interconnect, emerging data-centric applications pose a new set of challenges requiring enhancements to PCIe:
- High-performance heterogeneous computing with shared coherent memory space.
- Overcoming the memory bandwidth bottleneck of DDR parallel bus and providing tiered cost-effective memory support.
- Minimizing stranded resources in data centers by pooling memory and accelerators across multiple servers.
- Enabling distributed computing through low-latency load-store-based message passing and shared memory across a large pool of servers, including coherent near in-memory compute.
