SNIA Developer Conference September 15-17, 2025 | Santa Clara, CA
In this presentation, we will present the architecture of CXL memory in Windows and describe the support that will be available. We will describe the possible usages of CXL memory, the RAS workflows and the developer interfaces available to use CXL memory.
In this presentation, we will introduce Storage Multi-Queue on Windows. Storage Multi-Queue is a new storage driver architecture on Windows that is optimized for high performance storage hardware. Whereas the previous storage architecture was based around SCSI concepts, the new architecture uses NVMe concepts and data structures. This allows for a more efficient mapping to modern hardware and eliminates many of the bottlenecks associated with the existing SCSI-based stack. In addition to increased performance, Storage Multi-Queue provides more comprehensive queue management to lessen the implementation burden of the miniport. We will present the architecture of Storage Multi-Queue in Windows and how one can develop a storage miniport driver for this new architecture.
