In traditional homogeneous computing systems with symmetrically multiprocessing, CPU Home Agents (HAs) are used to maintain coherent memory for a given address space and manage data and ownership responses required by a given transaction. When expanding…
One of the underlying mantras driving the CCIX Software Work Group was coined by Red Hat’s Jon Masters – “keep it boring.” But when has “boring” ever been good? Well, that depends on your definition of…
At Arm TechCon 2019 and SC19, CCIX Consortium members demonstrated the advantages of using CCIX’s seamless acceleration capabilities for in-memory database applications like Redis and MongoDB. While still a proof of concept, this real-world use case…
I’m very pleased to share that the new CCIX® Software Developer’s Guide is now available for free download and use. The guide describes the CCIX software architecture and is intended to serve as comprehensive and…
One of the primary benefits of the Cache Coherent Interconnect for Accelerators (CCIX) standard is that it makes accelerator cards peers to processors by virtue of the CCIX protocol’s coherency feature. This means the accelerator function…
As technology standards emerge and begin to grow in adoption, inevitably there are opportunities to collaborate between industry consortiums and standards bodies to expand opportunities for the mutual benefit of each ecosystem.
This week the CCIX…
This blog is the first in a series where we ask our CCIX Consortium members about the benefits they see in incorporating the CCIX Standard in their own products. In early January, CCIX Consortium member and…
As my fellow CCIX colleague Scott Knowlton highlighted in a recent blog, 2018 was a year of building momentum with a strengthening hardware and software ecosystem that was highlighted with the hardware platforms, demos and…
As we wrapped up a great year in 2018, we shared a number of highlights with our members. And what a year it was. 2018 was a year of building momentum for the CCIX standard as…
If you are attending the SC17 conference in Denver this week, make sure you take the opportunity to see the presentations and demonstrations for CCIX (pronounced see-6). CCIX is the cache coherent interconnect protocol operating…
CCIX was just announced last year and already things are getting interesting.
The approach of CCIX as an acceleration interconnect is to work within the existing volume server infrastructure while delivering improvements in performance…
Over the past few weeks, ARM participated in several CCIX panels and talks at two conferences, the Design Automation Conference (DAC 2017) held in Austin TX and TERATEC 2017, an HPC forum held in Paris,…
Welcome to the new CCIX Blog!
We will be continuously updating the CCIX website with the latest information on the CCIX specifications and industry adoption. In addition, this blog will highlight new CCIX technology demonstrations…
