FMS 2024: Teledyne LeCroy and Cadence Demo CXL 3.x Technology

Teledyne LeCroy, Inc. collaborates with Cadence Design Systems, Inc. to demonstrate Compute Express Link (CXL) 3.x technology during the Future of Memory and Storage (FMS) conference in Santa Clara, CA.

This is the 2nd public showcase of high-speed CXL 3.x technology by the 2 companies.

CXL is an emerging open industry-standard interconnect that provides high-bandwidth, low-latency cache coherent connectivity between CPUs and devices, including accelerators, memory expanders, and persistent memory. It builds upon the PCIe specification’s physical and electrical interface, offering additional features tailored for AI and ML applications. Notably, CXL enables CPUs and devices to share a unified view of memory without software intervention or synchronization.

“Cadence is dedicated to industry-wide innovation and rigorous compatibility testing through the CXL standard,” said Ravi Venigalla, VP, R&D, silicon solutions group, Cadence. “Early adopters like Cadence benefit tremendously from protocol analysis tools, such as the Summit M616 from Teledyne LeCroy, which are instrumental in the bring-up and debug of cutting-edge technologies. Gaining early access to such tools is key to successfully deploying new high-speed interfaces quickly.“

“The privilege of working closely with our partners and customers, early in the technology lifecycle, allows us to provide the most advanced, accurate and powerful tools for industry enablement. This technology demonstration with Cadence bolsters confidence in the maturity of their product and highlights the value of our test solution,” said Joe Mendolia, VP, marketing, Teledyne LeCroy.

The Summit M616 PCIe/CXL/NVMe Protocol Analyzer/Exerciser is available to order.
