Compute Express Link

Compute Express Link (CXL) is an open standard interconnection for high-speed central processing unit (CPU)-to-device and CPU-to-memory, designed to accelerate next-generation data center performance. CXL is built on the PCI Express (PCIe) physical and electrical interface with protocols in three key areas: input/output (I/O), memory, and cache coherence. On April 2, 2020, the Compute Express Link and Gen-Z Consortiums announced their execution of a memorandum of understanding (MoU), describing a mutual plan for collaboration between the two organizations.
