This is part of Electronic Design's TechXchange Talks series.
Compute Express Link (CXL) is a cache-coherent, system interconnect technology based on PCI Express 5.0. It's designed to link memory and peripherals with computational nodes including CPUs, GPGPUs, FPGAs, and other devices like machine-learning accelerators.
Editor Bill Wong talks with Steve Woo, Fellow and Distinguished Inventor at RAMBUS, about CXL technology and how it's affecting the design and deployment of data-center and cloud servers.
