MemVerge announced that MemVerge Memory Machine is the first
software-defined Compute Express Link (CXL) memory management solution
to offer support for the 4th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processor
as a CXL platform development environment.
With
built-in, industry-defining acceleration, 4th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable
processors, formerly codenamed Sapphire Rapids, establish a new standard in
data center architecture and unmatched customer value. Featuring up to 60 cores
and bolstered with the latest DDR5, PCIe 5.0 platform technologies for AI,
cloud computing, analytics, storage, networking, security and more, 4th Gen
Intel Xeon Scalable processors deliver the optimal solution for any workload.
Like
Intel, MemVerge is among the early supporters of the CXL standard which
provides a critical capability to create a unified, coherent memory space
between CPUs and memory expanders. CXL will revolutionize how data center
service architectures will be built for years to come. MemVerge's software
defined memory management product transparently enables memory tiering for
memory-intensive applications taking advantage of CXL protocol for the memory
innovation needed for advanced workloads. It can be used to build solutions
with future generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors.
"4th
Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors deliver dramatic performance making them
ideal for HPC workloads like genome sequencing," said Charles Fan, CEO of
MemVerge. "When used with MemVerge Memory Machine, users can further boost
memory bandwidth and achieve the dynamic tiering of needed memory for enhanced
fault tolerance and processing resilience for even the longest running
workloads."
MemVerge
has also announced that its application-aware memory tool, Memory Viewer will
offer day-one support for the 4th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processor CXL
platform development environment. Using MemVerge Memory Viewer, organizations
can determine the most cost-effective and performant way to expand DDR and CXL
memory on future generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors.
Memory
Machine software from MemVerge provides transparent access to a pool of DDR and
CXL memory, dynamically placing the hottest data in the fastest tier, and
guaranteeing quality of service to the most business-critical workloads running
on future generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors. More information about
