Abstract
CXL is mostly talked about in the memory expansion use-case context. However, VMware and Samsung are working together to bring unique value propositions by enabling newer use-cases beyond just memory. A CXL Type-2 accelerator-based solution using a custom hardware-software co-design has the potential to leverage more of the CXL capabilities such as to improve CapEx by reducing TCO, or provide dynamic memory usage and better workload migration performance and thus improving OpEx. We will also describe advantages provided by such an approach and cover real application benchmarks.
