Cache coherent interconnect for accelerators

The cache coherent interconnect for accelerators (CCIX) protocol is the result of an effort of a joint group of computer, hardware and software component vendors: AMD, ARM, Huawei, Mellanox Technologies, Qualcomm and Xilinx.[1]

Quotes from the homepage:

  • The mission of the CCIX Consortium is to develop and promote adoption of an industry standard specification to enable coherent interconnect technologies between general-purpose processors and acceleration devices for efficient heterogeneous computing.
  • The CCIX standard is available to member companies with initial products expected in 2017.
