Cxl over scaleup ethernet (sue), ualink, nvlink, ethernet, or phy based on ieee 802.3

Abstract

Datacenter workloads demand flexible memory architectures spanning from rack-level to pod-scale deployments. Embodiments herein disclose systems enabling CXL memory semantics over physical layers based on IEEE 802.3 PMA, facilitating memory disaggregation across datacenter fabric infrastructures. The embodiments comprise processing cores with coherent interconnects, MMUs for address translation, and memory channels supporting substantial memory capacities. Resource Provisioning Units (RPUs) translate between CXL data, optionally encapsulated, transmitted via physical layers based on IEEE 802.3 PMA, and CXL requests, enabling external entities to access memory across different physical address spaces. This architecture provides memory pooling using datacenter network infrastructure, supporting intra-rack memory sharing, inter-pod memory access, distributed AI training across datacenter resources, and elastic memory provisioning for cloud-native applications, overcoming physical layer limitations of traditional CXL implementations while maintaining protocol coherency suitable for GenAL, LLM inference, and HPC workloads.
