Abstract
In October 2016 several new consortia were formed to advance system interconnects between memory and processors, accelerators and IO devices. These interconnects, CCIX, Open CAPI and Gen-Z, are all potentially relevant to the way systems integrate persistent memory. All have made significant progress in the last year. During this session presenters from ARM, IBM and HPE will provide perspective on the roles of these interconnects relative to PM and a status update on significant milestones for the consortia.
