Cigniti Technologies, a global leader in independent quality engineering and software testing services, expands its portfolio of pioneering innovative digital assurance and experience solutions for next generation 5G technologies by forming a strategic partnership with innovate5G.

As companies move to 5G, they are going to be challenged in optimizing for the plethora of possibilities that 5G has to offer and with that, customer expectations and demand for new services will increase at a rapid pace. So, whether it be enhanced video, telehealth, adaptive manufacturing, AR/VR, gaming, consumer IoT services, connected vehicles, to name just a few, the pivot to the 5G paradigm will be significant as will the manner in which these new solutions are rolled out.

Embracing this new horizon of transformation and realization of 5G networks - machine type communication (mMTC), enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB), ultra-reliable low-latency communication (URLLC) – creates the mandate for a new paradigm of digital assurance. innovate5G’s in5Genius platform combined with Cigniti’s 5G Assurance capabilities, creates an end-to-end assurance model for organizations that are leveraging 5G as the backbone for their business and consumer applications, IoT, and edge computing.

“The promised benefits of 5G - high-speed networks, increased capacity and minimal latency – creates a new dimension for companies to exploit across business and consumer applications, as well as with IoT. But what comes will be new architectures supporting the intrinsic relationship between the applications/IoT devices and the network. Our partnership with innovate5G, further enables Cigniti’s Digital Assurance services to best support our clients’ 5G initiatives with speed, reliability and predictability.”

Astera Labs First to Break Through the Memory Wall with Industry’s Highest Performance CXL Memory Controllers

Business Wire | September 21, 2023

Astera Labs, the global leader in semiconductor-based connectivity solutions for AI infrastructure, today announced that its Leo Memory Connectivity Platform enables data center servers with unprecedented performance for memory intensive workloads. Leo is the industry’s first Compute Express Link™ (CXL™) memory controller that increases total server memory bandwidth by 50% while also decreasing latency by 25% when integrated with the forthcoming 5th Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processor. Through new hardware-based interleaving of CXL-attached and CPU native memory, Astera Labs and Intel eliminate any application-level software changes to augment server memory resources via CXL. Existing applications can effortlessly “plug-and-play” to take advantage of the highest possible memory bandwidth and capacity in the system. “The growth of computing cores and performance has historically outpaced memory throughput advancements, resulting in degraded server performance efficiency over time,” said Sanjay Gajendra, COO of Astera Labs. “This performance scaling challenge has led to the infamous ‘memory wall,’ and thanks to our collaboration with Intel, our Leo Memory Connectivity Platform breaks through this barrier by delivering on the promise of PCIe 5.0 and CXL memory.” Data center infrastructure scaling limitations due to the memory wall are none more evident than in AI servers where memory bandwidth and capacity bottlenecks result in inefficient processor utilization. The CXL innovations delivered by Astera Labs and Intel directly address these bottlenecks and lay the foundation for cloud, hybrid-cloud and enterprise data centers to maximize accelerated computing performance. Extending leadership of PCIe® 5.0 and CXL 2.0 solutions Astera Labs has a history of delivering industry-first solutions that are critical to advancing the PCIe and CXL ecosystems. In addition to memory performance advancements with Leo, Astera Labs is also driving interoperability leadership with its Aries PCIe 5.0 / CXL 2.0 Smart Retimers on state-of-the-art Intel server platforms. As the most widely deployed and proven PCIe/CXL retimer family in the industry, Aries features a low-latency CXL mode that complements Leo to form the most robust CXL memory connectivity solution. “We applaud Astera Labs for their contributions to the CXL ecosystem and are delighted to extend our ongoing collaboration. We believe Memory Connectivity Platforms containing innovations from companies like Astera Labs will help deliver enhanced performance on next generation Intel Xeon processors, and accelerate a myriad of memory intensive workloads,” said Zane Ball, Corporate Vice President and General Manager, Data Center Platform Engineering and Architecture Group, Intel. Visit Astera Labs at Intel Innovation! Astera Labs will showcase Leo and Aries together with Intel’s latest Xeon® Scalable processors at Booth #210, September 19-20 at the San Jose Convention Center. Talk to Astera Labs’ experts to learn more about industry benchmarks and how to optimize PCIe/CXL memory solutions in data center architectures to deliver optimized performance for applications ranging from AI, real time analytics, genomics and modeling. About Astera Labs Astera Labs, Inc. is a global leader in semiconductor-based connectivity solutions purpose-built to unleash the full potential of intelligent data infrastructure at cloud-scale. Its class-defining, first-to-market products based on PCIe, CXL, and Ethernet technologies deliver critical connectivity in accelerated computing platforms optimized for AI applications.
