Wccftech reports AMD’s MEXT memory system for EPYC servers

According to Wccftech, AMD has introduced MEXT for its EPYC server processors, a software-managed memory system that combines DRAM and NVMe SSDs to cut memory costs while aiming to keep performance close to an all-DRAM setup. The stack includes a Linux driver, an AI engine and the RAM View monitoring tool, and the AI engine reportedly runs on one EPYC core without a GPU. AMD’s tests showed about 99% of baseline performance in Azure Spark TPC-DS and about 95% in Synopsys PrimeTime.
