CXL PROTOCOL ENABLEMENT FOR TEST ENVIRONMENT SYSTEMS AND METHODS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18129394 titled 'CXL PROTOCOL ENABLEMENT FOR TEST ENVIRONMENT SYSTEMS AND METHODS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an efficient and effective testing system for devices compliant with the compute express link (CXL) protocol. The system includes a user interface, a test board for connecting multiple devices under test (DUTs), and a tester for managing the testing process, including handling CXL protocol aspects.

  • User interface for interaction with the testing system
  • Test board for connecting DUTs compliant with CXL protocol
  • Tester for managing testing of multiple DUTs, including CXL protocol aspects
  • Preventing interference between testing of different DUTs

Potential Applications

The technology can be applied in industries where testing of devices compliant with the CXL protocol is required, such as data centers, networking equipment, and high-performance computing systems.

Problems Solved

1. Efficient and effective testing of devices compliant with the CXL protocol 2. Preventing interference between testing of different devices under test

Benefits

1. Streamlined testing process for CXL protocol compliant devices 2. Improved accuracy and reliability of testing results 3. Enhanced management of testing multiple devices simultaneously

Potential Commercial Applications

1. Data center equipment testing 2. Networking device testing 3. High-performance computing system testing

Possible Prior Art

There may be existing testing systems for devices with specific protocols, but the specific focus on devices compliant with the CXL protocol may be a unique aspect of this technology.

Unanswered Questions

How does the system handle potential errors or failures during testing?

The patent application does not provide details on how the system addresses errors or failures that may occur during the testing process.

Are there any specific requirements for the user interface design?

The patent application does not mention any specific requirements or features of the user interface design for interacting with the testing system.


Original Abstract Submitted

Efficient and effective testing systems and methods are presented. In one embodiment, a testing system includes: a user interface configured to enable user interaction with the system; a test board configured to communicatively couple with a plurality of devices under test (DUTs), wherein the DUTs are compute express link (CXL) protocol compliant; and a tester configured to direct testing of the plurality of DUTs, wherein the tester manages testing of the plurality of DUTs, including managing CXL protocol aspects of the testing. In one exemplary implementation, the tester prevents testing of a first one of the plurality of DUTs from detrimentally interfering with testing of a second one of the plurality of DUTs.
