Multi-Headed Composable Memory Appliance MHCMA Next Generation

Learn about the next-generation Multi Headed Composable Memory Appliance (MHCMA) architecture in this 20-minute conference talk from the Open Compute Project. Discover the evolution from the initial FPGA-based Composable Memory Appliance (CMA) that supported up to 2 x16 PCIe-Gen5 CXL1.1 Host ports per blade and 8 blades per 19" shelf CXL Fabric Managed Composable Pooled Memory Appliance to the proposed second-generation design. Explore the advanced architecture utilizing next-generation 12nm ASIC devices capable of supporting up to 8 x8 PCIe-Gen5 CXL2.0 Host Ports per blade with up to 8 blades per 2U OCP Pooled and/or Shared CXL Fabric Managed MHCMA Chassis architecture. Gain insights into the current Plan of Record (POR) and understand opportunities for collaboration under the Contributor License Agreement (CLA) as presented by Mohamad El-Batal, Technologist at Seagate, and Hongjian Fan, Electrical Engineer at Seagate.
