Research Bits: July 18


CXL memory disaggregation Researchers from the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) developed a Compute Express Link (CXL) solution for directly accessible, high-performance memory disaggregation that they say significantly improves performance compared to existing remote direct memory access (RDMA)-based memory disaggregation. RDMA enables a host to directly access an... » read more
