AI/ML, Cache, Database, Data Warehouse and Virtualized servers are driving the need for higher memory capacity and bandwidth. The current memory hierarchy and solutions are limited to CPU-attached memory. However, CXL now opens up new potential “Composable Memory Systems” in the next generation data center solutions. First, we have the potential to dramatically increase memory capacities in some platforms using memory expansion. Second, we can now build TCO-optimized memory tiers. This requires the industry to come together to develop HW/SW co-designed OCP solutions. Panelists will discuss their plans to enable Composable Memory Systems via OCP CMS sub-project initiatives to deliver TCO-optimized memory solutions.
