XCENA to Unveil Innovative Technologies at the 2025 OCP Global Summit
XCENA, a prominent innovator in computational memory solutions, is preparing to showcase its latest advancements at the upcoming
2025 OCP Global Summit. Scheduled for October 14, 2025, at booth #C19, the company will demonstrate its flagship product, the
MX1, along with its proprietary software library,
XFLARE. This demo aims to highlight how these technologies can significantly enhance artificial intelligence (AI) workload efficiencies by accelerating database queries.
The Role of MX1 and XFLARE in AI Workloads
The demonstration will illustrate the potent combination of MX1 and XFLARE, showcasing their ability to streamline data handling for AI inference workloads. Traditionally, processing loads heavily rely on CPUs. However, XFLARE allows the CPU to transfer some data computing tasks to the MX1’s custom processors. This innovative approach leads to better overall performance while minimizing the data volume that CPUs need to access.
Additionally, XCENA will feature the MX1's
Infinite Memory capability, which enables expansion of accessible memory for host systems to an impressive multi-petabyte scale. This is made possible through SSD-backed CXL technology, allowing applications to efficiently manage larger datasets than ever before—a critical requirement in today’s data-driven environments.
Advancing Data Infrastructure
Jin Kim, the CEO of XCENA, stated, "Our mission has always focused on bringing computation closer to where data lives. With the introduction of MX1 and our comprehensive software tools, we aim to dismantle the bottlenecks currently faced in AI infrastructure. During the OCP event, we will demonstrate real improvements that benefit both system developers and users alike."
With this demo at the summit marking a significant milestone, it showcases XCENA's software running on its ASIC hardware for the first time. Just earlier this year, the company announced the availability of MX1, following consecutive industry recognitions, including the
Most Innovative Memory Technology award at the Future of Memory and Storage (FMS) event.
Series B Funding and Future Prospects
Alongside its product demonstrations, XCENA is gearing up to initiate a
Series B funding round later this year, aiming to raise
$100 million. This capital will be essential in expanding customer engagements, enhancing go-to-market strategies, and accelerating research and development efforts for future products. These initiatives are designed to tackle current performance challenges in data centers, facilitating more efficient applications.
