Elements that configure servers, from CXL-related products to
software, can now be directly verified at the Samsung Memory
Research Center (SMRC) located in Hwaseong, South Korea. Once CXL
products are verified by Samsung, they can immediately be requested
for product registration to Red Hat, enabling faster product
development.
Marking its first achievement through the infrastructure,
Samsung has successfully verified its CMM-D product for the first
time in industry this month. The company can also provide tailored
solutions to customers by optimizing products at earlier
development stages.
“We’re very pleased that our partnership with Red Hat is able to
deliver CXL memory products with enhanced reliability to our
customers,” said Taeksang Song, Vice President and Head of the New
DRAM Solution Development Team at Samsung Electronics. “Through our
continued collaboration spanning software and hardware, we will
remain at the forefront of developing innovative memory solutions
as well as the CXL ecosystem.”
Kyeong Sang Kim, Red Hat Korea GM said, “The optimization of
Samsung’s hardware for Red Hat’s software underscores the value of
open source technology as an imperative when it comes to expanding
next generation memory solutions such as CMM-D. We look forward to
continuing our collaboration with Samsung to further extend CXL
solutions to the market.”
Following the successful CXL memory verification by Red Hat for
the first time in the industry last December, Samsung has also been
certified for datacenter SSD products. Customers using Red
Hat-certified products can build high-performance systems by
receiving world-class Linux support, complementing the stable
hardware operation of Samsung.
Samsung and Red Hat have also been working closely together in
various areas, including product certification for both hardware
and software, enriching the next-generation CXL ecosystem.
At the Red Hat Summit held in Denver, Colorado, in May, Samsung
demonstrated its CMM-D1 embedded in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.3,
which enhances the performance of Deep Learning Recommendation
Models (DLRM).
The demo utilized the Scalable Memory Development Kit's (SMDK)
Memory Interleaving software technology, highlighting improved
memory access performance. SMDK-equipped CMM-D allows customers to
build high-performance AI models, without having to make
significant investments, by accelerating the data processing, AI
learning and inferencing speeds.
Through their strong partnership, Samsung and Red Hat aim to
provide customer solutions suitable for a wide range of user
systems while introducing new technology standards to an array of
partners and customers and expanding the CXL memory ecosystem.
1 CMM-D is Samsung’s CXL Memory Module DRAM, a DRAM solution
based on the PCIe interface that supports the CXL protocol.
