Innodisk's new CXL AIC leverages the PCIe Gen 5 x8 interface to deliver high-speed access to shared memory without occupying the system's native DIMM slots. Based on CXL 2.0 architecture, the card improves memory scalability and optimizes efficiency in edge servers, micro data centers, and mission-critical, low-latency applications.
Memory expansion up to 256GB with PCIe Gen 5.
The CXL AIC card integrates two DDR5 RDIMM sockets supporting capacities up to 256GB (128GB x2), allowing for flexible memory expansion to meet the needs of each system. This solution simplifies capacity upgrades by swapping RDIMM modules, avoiding costly motherboard redesigns.
Furthermore, its PCIe Gen 5 x8 connection provides up to 32GB/s of additional bandwidth, reducing CPU latency when accessing shared memory. This is especially relevant for intensive workloads such as AI inference, edge computing, real-time data analytics, and intelligent medical image processing.
CXL 2.0 Compatibility for Dynamic Workloads:
Innodisk's new solution is compatible with the CXL.mem and CXL.io standards under the CXL 2.0 Type 3 specification. This compatibility enables memory sharing and management across multiple hosts, improving overall system efficiency and simplifying the memory architecture.
Thanks to these capabilities, the CXL AIC is ideal for environments with variable workloads and low-latency requirements, such as 5G networks, high-frequency financial trading, and advanced artificial intelligence platforms.
