Samsung and Red Hat have announced the successful verification of Compute Express Link (CXL) memory modules in a real-time environment. This milestone brings significant progress to the industry ecosystem surrounding CXL memory.
The CXL memory modules have been thoroughly tested in a real user environment, proving their interoperability with other popular server software. With the growing demand for higher memory bandwidth driven by artificial intelligence and in-memory databases, CXL becomes a solution that enables increased speed, reduced latency, and improved scalability by connecting CPUs, GPUs, and memory devices through the PCIe interface.
Samsung has developed an optimized version of CXL memory for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 9.3. Compatibility with KVM and Podman environments allows customers to seamlessly integrate CXL memory modules into existing configurations without any modifications. Samsung and Red Hat are also working together to create a guide on incorporating CXL memory into RHEL 9.3, enabling others to build high-performance systems using CXL memory.
Last year, Samsung and Red Hat signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to jointly develop next-generation memory solutions. This collaboration exemplifies the partnership between advanced software and hardware, aiming to accelerate the development of the CXL ecosystem.
Yongcheol Bae, Vice President of Memory Product Planning at Samsung Electronics, emphasized the company’s commitment to building the CXL memory ecosystem through collaboration with various industry partners. This achievement with Red Hat represents another significant step in CXL technology development.
Thanks to the joint efforts of Samsung and Red Hat, the CXL memory ecosystem is ready for further growth and innovation. The verification of CXL memory modules in real-time environments provides a solid foundation for the industry, enabling the realization of the benefits of increased memory bandwidth and improved performance.
