Standardizing Memory-to-Memory Data Movement with SDXI 1.0 - Overview and Applications

Explore a 24-minute conference talk from the SNIA Compute+Memory+Storage Summit that introduces the groundbreaking SDXI (Smart Data Accelerator Interface) Specification v1.0, a standardized approach to memory-to-memory data movement. Discover how this new specification, developed by 89 individuals from 23 SNIA member companies, aims to replace traditional software-based memory copies with an extensible, forward-compatible interface independent of I/O interconnect technology. Learn about the specification's key features, including its ability to quiesce, suspend, and resume architectural states of per-address-space data movers, and understand its potential impact on emerging memory technologies and memory fabrics. Delve into SDXI's use cases, implementation patterns for buffer copies and data movement, memory expansion capabilities, and future developments planned for version 1.1. Presented by Shyam Iyer from Dell, gain insights into how this specification is shaping the future of memory-to-memory data movement and system memory operations.
