Lightelligence adds ZeroPoint compression to CXL interconnect
Lightelligence Co. Ltd. (Boston, Mass.) a developer of photonic computing, has formed a partnership to incorporate data compression from ZeroPoint Technologies AB (Goteborg, Sweden) in optical Compute Express Link (CXL) interconnect in data centers.
The expectation is to apply the technology to memory pools – a form of dynamic memory allocation with fixed-size blocks – to increase the performance-per-watt of CXL data interconnect by up to 50 percent.
“ZeroPoint Technologies is a global leader in CXL compression technology,” said Hal Conklin, Lightelligence’s vice president of business development, in a statement.
“Partnering with Lightelligence is a great opportunity to explore optimizations simultaneously at the logical and physical layers for our data center customers,” said Nilesh Shah, vice president of business development at ZeroPoint Technologies, in the same statement.
Founded in 2017, Lightelligence has approximately 200 employees worldwide and has raised more than $220 million in funding. The company has locations in Boston and Marlborough, Massachusetts and in Hangzhou and Shanghai, China.
