Optimized Resource Allocation for CXL Tiered-Memory Systems

Explore a technical conference presentation from SNIA SDC 2024 that delves into optimizing resource allocation for CXL tiered-memory systems in data center environments. Learn how to address the challenges of managing multiple memory tiers and improve cost efficiency without compromising performance. Discover TMC, an innovative system for recommending cloud configurations based on workload characteristics and dynamic resource utilization. Understand how profiling techniques can automatically determine optimal data placement across memory tiers by considering factors like hotness, memory-level parallelism, and latency sensitivity. Master the concept of packing penalty and its role in achieving better resource efficiency, resulting in up to 4× reduction in search costs and 17% improvement in resource utilization compared to conventional approaches. Gain insights into memory cost models, system adaptations for CXL, and practical solutions for reducing client costs by up to 2.6× while addressing resource stranding issues that impact cloud operators.
