Overview
Explore a technical conference talk from the Storage Developer Conference 2022 that delves into persistent CXL memory modules achieving DRAM-level performance. Learn about the critical role of data persistence in CXL for enabling instant-on processing capabilities and discover how combining DRAM-class performance with non-volatility creates opportunities for innovative computing architectures. Understand the current limitations of CXL technology, including heat management, latency issues, capacity constraints, and volatility concerns, while examining how emerging media types address these challenges. Gain insights into authentication methods enhancing server data security against cyber threats and follow Nantero's roadmap for implementing new memory media in production environments. The presentation covers essential topics including CXL architecture, memory expansion, DRAM comparison, EndRAM technology, nondestructive activation, power reduction strategies, NRAM development, and future market implications for massive memory expansion.
