How – And When – Optical I/O Will Make Disaggregated Systems Better

July 13, 2021 Timothy Prickett Morgan 1

As many of you know from reading The Next Platform, we are firm believers that eventually we will get disaggregated and composable systems that drive up the sharing of hardware resource across many workloads and therefore drive down the cost of hardware to support workloads. …

CXL And Gen-Z Iron Out A Coherent Interconnect Strategy

April 3, 2020 Timothy Prickett Morgan 2

To one way of looking at it, a reprise of the Bus Wars from days gone by in the late 1980s and early 1990s would have been a lot of fun. …

Gen-Z Memory Servers Loom On The Horizon

January 9, 2020 Timothy Prickett Morgan 0

We have been waiting for a long, long time for the ionic bond between compute and main memory to be softened to something a little more covalent and therefore allow for more complex storage structures to be formed within systems and across them. …

Gen-Z Interconnect Ready To Restore Compute Memory Balance

February 15, 2018 Jeffrey Burt 0

For several years, work has been underway to develop a standard interconnect that can address the increasing speeds in servers driven by the growing use of such accelerators as GPUs and field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) and the pressures put on memory by the massive amounts of data being generated and bottleneck between the CPUs and the memory. …

Breaking Memory Free Of Compute With Gen-Z

November 21, 2017 Jeffrey Burt 0

Servers have become increasingly powerful in recent years, with more processing cores being added and accelerators like GPUs and field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) being added, and the amount of data that can be processed is growing rapidly. …
