Paper Title: Using PCIe Fabrics to Push Disaggregation and Compossibility into the New Era

Paper Abstract: The server architecture is undergoing a necessary revolution to support composable component architectures that drive up component utilization. Innovations in PCI Express® Fabrics are at the forefront in helping shape this new reality today. These fabrics have the capability to dynamically reassign workloads to different compute nodes or accelerators, manage hot add/removal of endpoints, and support peer-to-peer communications all at PCIe line rates with very low latency. In this presentation, we provide a technical overview of PCIe Fabric technology and how they deliver both disaggregation and compossibility so customers can navigate the changing landscape of the data center.
