In this podcast episode, Andy Banta explores the exciting world of CXL (Compute Express Link) test drives and highlights the importance of simulation in NUMA (Non-Uniform Memory Access) architecture. He addresses the difficulties of real-world testing, primarily due to the lack of available CXL devices, and presents Magnition's simulation framework as an effective solution. Through a series of experiments, Banta demonstrates how this framework accommodates various workloads and configurations, delivering consistent results that are essential for performance engineers. The conversation emphasizes the significance of reliable testing methods in tackling the complexities of modern systems, ultimately showcasing a bright future for CXL testing.
