CXL has the potential to revolutionise memory utilisation, management, and access in terms of disaggregation and composability.

The CXL Consortium, an industry standards body dedicated to advancing Compute Express Link (CXL) technology, has announced the release of the CXL 2.0 specification. CXL is an open industry-standard interconnect offering coherency and memory semantics using high-bandwidth, low-latency connectivity between host processor and devices such as accelerators, memory buffers, and smart I/O devices.
