Why PCIe and CXL are Critical Interconnects for the AI Era

Lou Ternullo, Senior Director of IP Product Management at Rambus, discusses the critical role of PCIe and CXL interconnects in enabling the AI-driven data centers of tomorrow. He explores the challenges of traditional server setups, such as inefficiencies in resource allocation, over-provisioning, and data replication, and presents disaggregation as a solution to improve cost-efficiency and performance. By leveraging PCIe and CXL interconnects, data centers can enable heterogeneous compute, memory sharing, and lower-latency communication across servers and racks. Lou underscores the importance of these interconnect technologies in reducing latency, optimizing resource use, and lowering costs in AI-focused data centers.
