MemVerge announced that the
company and SK hynix Inc, two leading innovators in Big Memory solutions, have
launched Project Endless Memory, a groundbreaking co-engineered system that
addresses the challenge of memory exhaustion in data-intensive applications.
Memory exhaustion is a major problem that can cause Out-of-Memory (OOM) crashes
or poor performance due to swap usage, especially in clustered environments
where memory usage is not uniform across nodes. An overview of Endless Memory
will be presented at the
CXL Forum at ISC on Tuesday, May 23.
Demonstrations of Endless Memory are being presented at ISC in MemVerge booth
D401.
To address this challenge,
MemVerge has partnered with SK hynix to create an "Endless Memory"
solution. Endless Memory combines an Elastic Memory Service software from
MemVerge and a Niagara Pooled Memory System from SK hynix to allow hosts to
dynamically allocate memory as needed, mitigating OOM errors and improving
application performance.
"Our collaboration
modernizes the existing memory model to improve application performance and
prevent OOM errors," said Charles Fan, CEO and co-founder of MemVerge.
"The ability to download RAM automatically and intelligently will lead to
improved productivity for users of data-intensive applications."
Endless Memory represents an
industry milestone because it features CXL memory pooling and tiering
technologies running on real CXL memory pooling hardware from SK hynix. The
innovative solution incorporates technology that transforms the way
data-intensive applications are managed and will provide a more seamless and
efficient way to manage memory in clustered environments.
According to Hoshik Kim,
VP/Fellow, Memory Forest x&D at SK hynix, "Testing shows that just 20%
extra CXL memory from our Niagara Pooled Memory System1 can
improve application performance by 3x compared with the existing swap memory
approach."
Project Endless Memory is
set to revolutionize the way we manage memory for data-intensive applications
and is poised to become a must-have solution for companies looking to stay
ahead of the curve.
