Description

Compute Express Link (CXL) is a new open interconnect technology built on top of PCIe.
Among other features, it enables memory expansion, unified system address space and cache
coherency. It has the potential to enable SDM (Software Defined Memory) and emerging
usage models of accelerators.

Meta has been working on CXL with current focus on memory expansion. This presentation
will discuss Meta's experiences, learnings, pain points and expectations for Linux
kernel/OS to support CXL's value proposition and at-scale data center deployment. It
touches upon aspects such as transparent memory expansion, device management at scale,
RAS, etc. Meta looks forward to further collaboration with the Linux community to improve CXL
technology and to enable the CXL ecosystem.
