Paper Title: Chiplet-Based Switch SoC for CXL Resource Pooling

Paper Abstract: The new CXL interface standard will eventually be the best way to create composable infrastructures that allocate compute, networking, storage, and accelerators to workloads as needed. The result will be a tremendous return-on-investment and great flexibility and efficiency in managing resources. However, CXL currently lacks the required features for resources other than memory. A new switch SoC (SSoC) can provide the features immediately. A proposed architecture based on chiplets offers an efficient way to implement the SSoC. Large data centers and clouds can thus enjoy the advantage of composable infrastructure now without having to utilize lower-speed buses and accept other limitations that reduce both ROI and performance at scale.
