Memory pooling and sharing enabling scalable llm inference over scaleup ai fabrics

Abstract

Modern datacenters require efficient mechanisms for memory resource sharing and utilization across distributed computing environments. Some of the disclosed embodiments introduce systems and methods incorporating a Resource Provisioning Unit (RPU) that performs host-to-host physical address translations, enabling external hosts to access memory resources utilizing CXL protocols. The system includes a processor coupled to DRAM, an MMU for virtual-to-physical address mapping, and a CXL device for host communication. The RPU enables hosts to access the DRAM utilizing messages conforming to CXL protocols, including CXL.mem with Host-managed Device Memory (HDM) regions and CXL.io with Transaction Layer Packets. Some embodiments support multiple hosts and CXL memory expanders utilizing additional CXL devices and root ports. The embodiments enable flexible memory architecture, improved resource utilization, and scalable memory sharing suitable for AI workloads, cloud computing, and next-generation datacenter deployments.
