Again in August, SK Hynix created the primary DDR5 DRAM Compute Categorical Hyperlink or CXL reminiscence which makes use of an interconnect protocol based mostly on PCIe connections to help with HPC system effectivity throughout numerous parts, akin to reminiscence, GPU, and in addition the accelerator for AI options. CMS, or CXL-based Computational Reminiscence Answer, will enhance efficiency and vitality effectivity and see use in HPC “infra techniques.”

The adaptability of CXL know-how is proven in its potential to extend reminiscence measurement through the use of the system’s solid-state drive and GPU. The SK Hynix CMS will enable the consumer to make the most of the developments in in depth knowledge evaluation techniques’ machine studying and “knowledge filtering computation features.”

“When introducing new applied sciences and their options to the market, it is very important show their worth from the client’s standpoint, however the potential scope of collaboration with clients is comparatively restricted, particularly for data-center server areas. In that sense, collaboration with SK Telecom supplied an awesome alternative to deliver the CMS into actuality. SK Telecom’s expertise in AI/Huge Knowledge-based service infrastructure growth and operations was mirrored in every a part of the event course of.”

SK Hynix and SK Telecom labored collectively to design a CXL platform that may apply CMS to work alongside CMS-based Lightning DB, an analytic knowledge platform situated in reminiscence.

“It is not uncommon for {hardware} options of a brand new idea to take a substantial period of time to show their effectiveness from a software program utility’s standpoint. However this time, significant computations for SK Telecom’s precise utility providers have been chosen, which helped us save a major period of time by collectively performing all processes from construction design of hardware-software to growth and verification. As we verified the efficiency enhancements of the options, we plan to use them to screening duties that enhance accuracy in large-scale AI studying knowledge sooner or later and use them to strengthen the competitiveness of SK Telecom’s AI service.”

— Yang Seung-ji, Vice President and Head of Imaginative and prescient R&D, SK Telecom

The brand new prototype for the CXL-based reminiscence answer by SK Hynix and SK Telecom is at the moment on show on the Open Compute Challenge World Summit, adopted by the SK Tech Summit in Korea subsequent month.
