• [$] Recent work in memory tiering

    From LWN.net@618:250/24 to All on Fri Sep 4 06:40:09 2026
    Tiered-memory systems are built with multiple types of memory, each of
    which has different performance characteristics. In addition to the usual DRAM, a tiered system might also provide faster high-bandwidth memory or
    slower CXL memory. On these systems, the placement of memory allocations
    has a significant effect on the performance that a workload will obtain.
    While work on tiered-memory improvements has been ongoing for years, it
    feels like the pace has slowed a bit recently. Even so, there are a few efforts underway, but they are facing questions about whether the tiering design makes sense.
