CXL SIG (Disaggregated Memory)
The actively updated and publicly visible project home page of CXL SIG is here. In that open forum with current1 (and future2, hopefully) CRSS members, we are exploring software and system architecture evolution around the trend of Memory Disaggregation.

Linux HMM scope, co-evolution with CXL, and limitations
1From the current membership, Intel is active. Facebook/Meta's Manoj led the discussion on CXL at the last IAB, with Samsung, Hynix, and Marvell actively participating.
2We invite Rambus, Amazon, and other companies taking advantage of CXL SIG to join CRSS -- an NSF-funded I/UCRC (the I stands for Industry) -- as member companies ahead of our November.
