AppliedMicro Introduces X-Tend(TM): Breakthrough Scale-Out Interconnect Technology
November 16 2015 - 8:00AM
Applied Micro Circuits Corporation (Nasdaq:AMCC), a global leader
in computing and connectivity solutions, today announced the
availability of X-Tend™ interconnect technology, enabling multiple
generations of X-Gene® SoCs to be connected seamlessly with large,
elastic memory pools.
Emerging data center workloads, including data mining, real-time
analytics, predictive analysis and machine learning, demand minimal
latency with just-in-time, elastic provisioning of compute and
memory resources. Comprised of on-chip and software components,
X-Tend connects multiple X-Gene nodes to each other while
presenting multiple terabytes of shared DRAM memory as a single
cluster.
"The work that went into AppliedMicro's X-Tend interconnect is a
real engineering accomplishment," said Jimmy Pike, technologist in
residence at Moor Insights and Strategy. "The promise of X-Tend to
provide a single interconnect system that serves as the physical
layer for large scale-out solutions and at the same time provide
the means for virtual scale-up solutions represents a substantial
step forward for AppliedMicro and the ARM server ecosystem."
"X-Tend utilizes open standards, including PCI Express, to
provide multi-socket configurations with a single symmetric
multiprocessor OS image, accessing huge memory pools with very low
latency," said Paramesh Gopi, president and CEO, AppliedMicro.
"On-demand scale-up capability is particularly applicable to
compute-intensive workloads like high-performance computing and
advanced search algorithms."
X-Tend evaluation platforms are already shipping to
AppliedMicro's customers. Additionally, the company will feature a
live demonstration of X-Tend in booth No. 3103 at SC15 in Austin,
Texas, Nov. 16 - Nov. 19, 2015.
