Penguin Solutions SMART CXA-8F2W-D4 is an 8-DIMM DDR4 CXL AIC designed to expand server memory capacity using the CXL standard. The card is a Type 3 PCIe Gen5 AIC that supports up to eight DDR4 RDIMMs in a full height, half length, dual-width PCIe form factor. With a PCIe Gen5 x16 host interface, CXL 2.0 support, four DDR4 memory channels, and up to 64GB/s host-interface throughput, the CXA-8F2W-D4 provides a practical path to add memory capacity to CXL-capable enterprise servers.
Penguin Solutions can help customers convert existing DDR4 inventory into known-good CXL memory capacity by performing incoming inspection, DIMM functional testing, sorting, characterization, installation into the AIC, and final populated-card validation. View memory screening process.
Key Features:
Accelerated AI and ML workloads often require high bandwidth memory to keep up with the massive amounts of data being processed. There's a need for memory architectures that can deliver higher bandwidth to match the computational capabilities of modern accelerators. This could involve innovations in DRAM design, such as wider memory buses, faster memory interfaces, or the integration of high-bandwidth memory (HBM) technologies.
Along with increasing amount of IT devices and systems installed in modern enterprises, more and more data is generated and transported everyday between physical equipment and virtual spaces, like the cloud. In order to efficiently and effectively store and manage these quantities of data, it’s becoming necessary to build a data infrastructure that can accommodate in-house data centers or that can be outsourced to cloud service providers. Whether the data infrastructure is internal or external, the main purpose is to gather process and store the data under stable and secure conditions to ensure uninterrupted operation for the enterprises.
High Performance Computing (HPC) represents a leading solution being used to model and understand complex issues such as weather, agriculture, and space. HPC applications require the ability to process data and perform complex calculations at high speeds in limited timeframes. For applications such as AI machine/deep learning, data analysis, or medical research, HPC can process massive amount of data in real time. As HPC increases, so will the demands for high performing and reliable memory to deliver on expectations.
Whether it’s a mid-size health insurance company or a large-scale e-commerce service provider, storage servers play an important role in terms of data management for any business operation. Along with the increasing amounts of data generated and transported through network connections, it’s crucial to efficiently process and store the data, while enabling data access, yet maintaining security. Whatever the use or data applications, storage servers can are used where a large amount of data is transmitted, gathered and processed for analysis and business operations.
