Astera Labs Launches Cloud-Scale Interop Lab to Enable Seamless Deployment of CXL Solutions at Scale
Astera Labs, the industry-leader for purpose-built connectivity solutions, announced the expansion of its Cloud-Scale Interop Lab to provide robust interoperability testing between its Leo Memory Connectivity Platform and a growing ecosystem of leading CXL-based CPUs, memory modules, and operating systems.
“Compute Express Link s proving to be a critical memory interconnect technology in data-centric systems; however, multiple use cases and a fast-growing ecosystem is proving to be a significant challenge for seamless deployment of CXL solutions at scale,” said Casey Morrison, CPO, Astera Labs. “Building on the success of our Cloud-Scale Interop Lab for Aries PCIe Smart Retimers and learnings from real CXL silicon solutions working on customer platforms, we are excited to partner with industry leaders to implement end-to-end CXL tests and tools to minimize interoperation risk, reduce system development time and costs, and accelerate time-to-market.”

The Cloud-Scale Interop Lab utilizes a comprehensive suite of memory stress tests, CXL protocol checks, and electrical robustness measurements to validate performance and interoperability between CPUs, Leo Smart Memory Controllers, and a variety of memory modules in real-world use cases. The testing covers four key areas spanning from the physical layer to the application layer, including PCIe electrical, memory, CXL compliance and system-level testing over thousands of iterations.

Jim Pappas, Chairman, CXL Consortium, said: “The CXL Consortium hosts events that test member company products for compliance to our specifications. With its Cloud-Scale Interop Lab, Astera Labs extends that testing with rigorous interoperability tests from the physical level to the system level with a broad range of hosts, memory and operating systems. As a CXL Consortium contributor member, Astera Labs’ vendor-neutral approach will help accelerate the delivery of CXL memory solutions to market.”
Mahesh Wagh, Senior Fellow, Server Systems Architect, AMD, said: “Both standards compliance and plug-and-play capabilities are an important step toward growing the CXL ecosystem. 4th Gen AMD EPYC™ processors are compatible with CXL 1.1 standards and help to create composable architectures that provide the infrastructure flexibility, security and performance requirements our customers demand. We applaud Astera Labs for its commitment to interoperability testing and look forward to our continued collaboration toward delivering truly heterogeneous computing.”
Dr. Debendra Das Sharma, Senior Fellow, Intel Corporation, said: “Intel is committed to accelerating the CXL ecosystem, and we are looking forward to continuing our collaboration with Astera Labs and participating in its Cloud-Scale Interop Lab so our customers can more easily deploy reliable and interoperable CXL solutions.
