CXL DRAM SWITCH FABRIC - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18433191 titled 'CXL DRAM SWITCH FABRIC
The patent application describes a system and method involving a rack, a rack server, and a device with Compute Express Link (CXL) switch fabric, processing circuitry, and memory mounted within the rack.
- The system includes a rack server mounted within a rack and a device with CXL switch fabric, processing circuitry, and memory housed in a chassis within the rack.
- The processing circuitry controls the CXL switch fabric to allocate or deallocate memory to or from the rack server.
- The chassis is positioned at the top of the rack for easy access.
- The processing circuitry can also allocate or deallocate memory to or from another rack server within the system.
Potential Applications: - Data centers - High-performance computing environments - Cloud computing infrastructure
Problems Solved: - Efficient memory allocation in server systems - Streamlined data processing and storage
Benefits: - Improved performance and resource utilization - Scalability and flexibility in memory management
Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhanced Memory Management System for Data Centers" This technology can be used in data centers to optimize memory allocation and enhance overall system performance. It can also be applied in high-performance computing environments and cloud computing infrastructure to improve resource utilization and scalability.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the CXL switch fabric enhance memory allocation in the system?
- The CXL switch fabric allows for high-speed communication between components, enabling efficient memory allocation and management.
2. What are the key advantages of having the processing circuitry control memory allocation in the system?
- The processing circuitry ensures optimal resource utilization and flexibility in memory management, leading to improved system performance.
Original Abstract Submitted
A system and method of using the system may comprise: a rack; a first rack server mounted within the rack; and a device including Compute Express Link (CXL) switch fabric, processing circuitry operatively coupled to the CXL switch fabric, memory operatively coupled to the CXL switch fabric, and a chassis mounted within the rack, the chassis housing the CXL switch fabric, the processing circuitry, and the memory. The processing circuitry may be configured to control the CXL switch fabric to allocate or deallocate at least a portion of the memory to or from the rack server. The chassis may be arranged at a top of the rack. The processing circuitry may further be configured to control the CXL switch fabric to allocate or deallocate at least another portion of the memory to or from another rack server.
