Samsung can immediately confirm server configuration components, together with CXL merchandise and software program
Infrastructure will speed up product improvement cycles and supply tailor-made options for patrons
Samsung Electronics, the world chief in superior reminiscence expertise, right this moment introduced that for the primary time within the business, it has efficiently constructed a Compute Express Link™ (CXL™) infrastructure licensed by Red Hat, the world’s main supplier of open supply options.
Elements that configure servers, from CXL-related merchandise to software program, can now be immediately verified on the Samsung Memory Research Center (SMRC) situated in Hwaseong, South Korea. Once CXL merchandise are verified by Samsung, they will instantly be requested for product registration to Red Hat, enabling sooner product improvement.
Marking its first achievement by way of the infrastructure, Samsung has efficiently verified its CMM-D product for the primary time within the business this month. The firm may present tailor-made options to clients by optimizing merchandise at earlier improvement phases.
“We’re very pleased that our partnership with Red Hat is able to deliver CXL memory products with enhanced reliability to our customers,” mentioned Taeksang Song, Vice President and Head of the New DRAM Solution Development Team at Samsung Electronics. “Through our continued collaboration spanning software and hardware, we will remain at the forefront of developing innovative memory solutions as well as the CXL ecosystem.”
Kyeong Sang Kim, Red Hat Korea GM mentioned, “The optimization of Samsung’s hardware for Red Hat’s software underscores the value of open source technology as an imperative when it comes to expanding next-generation memory solutions such as CMM-D. We look forward to continuing our collaboration with Samsung to further extend CXL solutions to the market.”
Following the profitable CXL reminiscence verification by Red Hat for the primary time within the business final December, Samsung has additionally been licensed for datacenter SSD merchandise. Customers utilizing Red Hat-certified merchandise can construct high-performance programs by receiving world-class Linux assist, complementing the steady {hardware} operation of Samsung.
Samsung and Red Hat have additionally been working carefully collectively in varied areas, together with product certification for each {hardware} and software program, enriching the next-generation CXL ecosystem.
At the Red Hat Summit held in Denver, Colorado, in May, Samsung demonstrated its CMM-D1 embedded in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.3, which reinforces the efficiency of Deep Learning Recommendation Models (DLRM).
The demo utilized the Scalable Memory Development Kit’s (SMDK) Memory Interleaving software program expertise, highlighting improved reminiscence entry efficiency. SMDK-equipped CMM-D permits clients to construct high-performance AI fashions, with out having to make vital investments, by accelerating the info processing, AI studying and inferencing speeds.
Through their robust partnership, Samsung and Red Hat purpose to offer buyer options appropriate for a variety of consumer programs whereas introducing new expertise requirements to an array of companions and clients and increasing the CXL reminiscence ecosystem.
1 CMM-D is Samsung’s CXL Memory Module DRAM, a DRAM answer based mostly on the PCIe interface that helps the CXL protocol.
