SMART CXL® Add In Cards (AICs) are an innovative approach to maximizing memory capacity with minimal power and latency in servers for Fintech applications.

The innovative memory technology enables financial institutions and quantitative analysts to break through traditional limits imposed by available attached memory slots. SMART CXL AICs enable Terabytes of capacity per chassis utilizing PCIe Gen5 slots and an industry-standard CXL 2.0 compliant controller to eliminate traditional memory bottlenecks.

Challenges and Requirements

Financial forecasting and modeling, high-frequency trading, real-time transaction processing a fraud detection are at the core of today’s global economy. To process vast amounts of data in a flash requires massive memory capacity to enable the processors to operate a peak bandwidth. The challenge is three-fold: available memory slots for attached DRAM modules are limited; the cost of adding more CPUs is cost and power prohibitive; and caching latency through SSDs is too slow. SMART CXL Add In Cards deliver a competitive edge throughout the Fintech value chain from system integrator to end user.
