Samsung launches first open-source software solution for CXL Memory Platform

Samsung, the world leader in advanced memory technology, launched the first open-source solution, the Scalable Memory Development Kit (SMDK), specially designed to support the Compute Express Link (CXL) memory platform.

In May, Samsung launched the first expanded CXL memory industry that allows memory capacity and bandwidth to rise to levels far beyond what is possible in today’s server systems.

Now, the CXL company platform is expanding beyond hardware to provide easy-to-integrate software tools, making CXL memory more accessible to developers of emerging spy (AI) data systems, learning devices (ML), and markets on 5G edges.

CXL memory adoption made easier without the need for application modifications

Samsung’s SMDK enables large memory and CXL memory expanders to work seamlessly together in sophisticated memory systems. The comprehensive software kit contains libraries – pre-configured, renewable code sets – and application programming (APIs) – connections that access these software codes.

Industry’s first software-defined memory management

The new SMDK also supports memory creation, allowing programmers to better manage large amounts of memory in shared memory formats. Using the interactive Intelligent Tiering Engine, SMDK can identify and configure the type of memory, power, and bandwidth appropriate for each use case.

Samsung’s SMDK is now available with a limited number of initial testing and performance tests and will open within the first half of next year. Samsung will continue to develop its open-source SMDK as it works closely with industry leaders in increasing the adoption of the CXL memory platform for widespread use in AI, peripherals, and cloud services.
