Automotive SSD Specification Update
The next generation of automobiles moves to the adoption of PCIe for data communications in vehicles, and the JEDEC Automotive SSD solution enables a high performance, high reliability solution for this shared centralized storage. Features such as SR/IOV highlight the requirements of these computers on wheels with multiple SoC functions for vehicle control, sensors, communications, entertainment, and artificial intelligence.
A Persistent CXL Memory Module with DRAM Performance
Data persistence on CXL is an essential enabler toward the goal of instant-on processing. DRAM class performance combined with non-volatility on CXL enables a new class of computing architectures that can exploit these features and solve real-world bottlenecks for system performance, data reliability, and recovery from power failures. New authentication methods also enhance the security of server data in a world of cyberattacks.
NVMe Over CXL is much more than just an SSD
Thinking of CXL® as “just a bus” does a disservice to its true value as an opportunity to virtualize system resources. NVMe Over CXL™ is an abstraction of memory resources that combines bulk storage and memory along with persistence to provide a highly efficient combined resource available over multiple APIs including NVMe, DAX, HDM, BAEBI, etc. Data center power is already at crisis levels, largely due to the inefficiency of data movement where far below 1% of data moved is actually used. NVMe Over CXL allows for a 97% or greater reduction in data movement through the fabric, saving power and enhancing system performance. An optional data persistence mode brings NVDIMM-N style backup to CXL, improved over traditional approaches by allowing the host to define regions of persistence.
