Towards Disaggregation-Native Data Streaming between Devices
Disaggregation is an ongoing trend to increase flexibility in datacenters. With interconnect technologies like CXL, pools of CPUs, accelerators, and memory can be connected via a datacenter fabric. Applications can then pick from those pools the resources necessary for their specific workload. However, this vision becomes less clear when we consider data movement. Workloads often require data to be streamed through chains of multiple devices, but typically, these data streams physically do not …
