The MOU between JEDEC and CXL Consortium will establish a framework for ongoing communication to align future efforts between the two organizations. The joint work group will collaborate on useful solutions for form factors, management, security, and DRAM and other memory technologies,” said Siamak Tavallaei, CXL Consortium President.

With support from dozens of industry-leading companies, this cooperation will assist both organizations in optimizing the development of our own respective standards and will support JEDEC in its current focus on creating select standards targeted for CXL-attached memory modules and components,” said Mian Quddus, JEDEC Chairman.

Recently, the CXL Alliance launched the Compute Express Link (CXL) 3.0 specification, which has been further expanded on the basis of the previous generation technology to improve scalability and optimize system-level data flow through advanced interaction capabilities, efficient peer-to-peer communication, and fine-grained resource sharing across multiple computing domains. At about the same time, the OpenCAPI Alliance announced that it would transfer the OpenCAPI and OMI specifications and the assets of the OpenCAPI Alliance to the CXL Alliance.
