报告摘要(Abstract)：

In this presentation, I'll present an in-depth look at Compute Express Link (CXL), discussing its significance and current status. CXL is a fast and efficient communication standard that facilitates interaction between central processing units (CPUs) and specialized computing units like field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) and graphics processing units (GPUs). This not only speeds up data access but also optimizes how complex tasks are processed. I'll outline the evolution of CXL, starting from its first version, CXL 1.0, to the most recent update, CXL 3.0. Each iteration brings its own set of features, and I'll elucidate how they distinguish themselves from each other, as well as why CXL may be a better choice than other existing options.

Moving beyond just the technical details, the talk will also explore the practical applications of CXL technology. I will cover its role in the operation of large data centers and how it contributes to advancements in sectors such as artificial intelligence and machine learning. This comprehensive overview aims to be beneficial not only for hardware engineers and software developers but also for anyone keen on understanding the upcoming shifts in the computing landscape. Overall, the presentation will equip you with a thorough understanding of both the underlying principles and real-world applications of CXL technology.
