Key Developments

January 2024 – CXL: an advanced interconnect technology enabling high-bandwidth, low-latency connections between host processors such as CPUs with accelerators or memory buffers, making it possible to tackle the “memory wall” problem, thus improving heterogeneous computing. CXL is based on PCIe interfaces but can expand main memory beyond DIMM slots, thereby narrowing the latency gap between main memory and SSD storage. It plays an important role in AI applications by providing larger memory capacity and bandwidth, which contributes to high-performance computing.

August 2022 – Stanford engineers present a new chip that ramps up AI computing efficiency. They produced a more efficient and flexible AI chip at Stanford University that could take artificial intelligence to tiny edge devices.

On January 13, 2021, Oracle announced that Oracle Database 21c, the latest edition of the world’s most popular converged database, is now available on Oracle Cloud, including the Always Free tier of Oracle Autonomous Database. Over 200 brand-new innovations are included in Oracle Database 21c, such as immutable blockchain tables, In-Database JavaScript, native JSON binary data type, AutoML for in-database machine learning (ML), and persistent memory store along with improvements for in-memory, graph processing performance, sharding, multitenant and security.

July 2019 - Intel, together with SAP, revealed a multi-year technology partnership targeting the optimization of Intel platforms, including Intel Xeon Scalable processors and Intel Optane DC persistent memory for end-to-end mission-critical SAP enterprise software applications like SAP S/4HANA.
