CXL Memory Tiering for Heterogeneous Computing

Explore Compute Express Link (CXL) memory tiering for heterogeneous computing in this 26-minute conference talk from the Linux Plumbers Conference. Discover how CXL, an open-standard interconnect protocol, expands memory capacity and bandwidth to overcome architectural limitations. Learn about Linux's ability to interleave between various memory tiers and gain insights from workload analysis across different memory configurations. Examine hardware and Linux kernel configurations for tuning system performance in bandwidth and capacity-sensitive workloads. Delve into proposed solutions for application-transparent mechanisms to enhance overall system performance in heterogeneous computing environments.
