New technology enables GPUs to use PCIe-attached memory for expanded capacity


Memory requirements stemming from advanced datasets for AI and HPC applications often swamp the memory built into a GPU. Expanding that memory has typically meant installing expensive...

One solution to this bottleneck is being offered by Panmnesia, a company backed by South Korea's KAIST research institute, which has introduced new tech that allows GPUs to access system memory directly through a Compute Express Link (CXL) interface. Called CXL GPU Image, this PCIe-attached memory has a double-digit nanosecond latency that is significantly faster than traditional SSDs, the company says. What Panmnesia developed in response is a series of hardware layers that support all of the key CXL protocols, consolidating them into a unified controller.
