Make Sense of Memory Tiering

Memory footprint is a major source of capital expenditure and soon will make up more than half of a compute host. New technologies like Persistent Memory and CXL enable new memory topologies and Volatile Memory usage to enable memory density and cost savings. Memory Tiering can be broken down into types with their unique challenges and requirements. Tiering can be enabled in hardware, kernel, or user space. The presentation will go over definition, architecture, and use cases for Memory Tiering options in the market today and the future.
