Samsung Pools KV Cache Using CXL
lauriewired · x · 2026-07-12
Samsung has published a paper/proposal detailing the offloading of KV-cache to a CXL memory pool.
- The experiment utilized an early CXL 2.0 ecosystem, older switches, and a relatively basic setup.
- By applying simple interleaving of the KV Cache across multiple CXL modules, the GPU supply remained stable, performing almost "like real DRAM".
- While the author notes this isn't SOTA, the implementation is highly reproducible, demonstrating that CXL already offers practical value for scaling inference memory.
