Wolley Unveils Revolutionary CXL Memory Expansion Controller for AI Workstations

Wolley Introduces the CXL® Memory Expansion Controller for AI Workstations at FMS2025

Wolley Inc., renowned in Silicon Valley for its high-performance data interface and controller solutions, has taken a significant step in the AI technology landscape by introducing its CXL memory expansion controller during the FMS2025 event. This advanced technology is specifically designed to enhance AI workstations’ capabilities, particularly when handling large-language models (LLMs).

The CXL memory expansion controller is a low-power and cost-effective E1.S module that significantly extends the memory bandwidth available to AI clients and workstation platforms. By allowing these systems to run LLMs seamlessly, the module provides an impressive bandwidth increase of 32GB/s to 64GB/s via the CXL protocol. This capability is made possible through effective memory expansion achieved via DRAM and SSD virtualization, combining memory and storage into a single plug-in solution.

In today’s rapidly evolving technological landscape, LLMs demand increasingly higher memory bandwidths that exceed the 100 to 200 GB/s limits posed by existing CPU and NPU platforms. The standard GPUs, technically favored for AI acceleration, are constrained by on-package memory limits and escalating costs, making them less viable for extensive applications.

As Bernard Shung, the CEO of Wolley, articulates, "We believe Wolley's client/workstation centric CXL expansion memory in the range of 32GB-64GB is the sweet spot for AI workstations dealing with Generative AI workloads." This dual-purpose device serves as both a memory and storage interface, allowing simultaneous operations without occupying additional PCIe lanes, which is particularly beneficial for workstations with limited PCIe connectivity.

Bernard Shung adds, "We are proactively engaging with ecosystem partners, including CPU, NPU, and memory suppliers, to validate and promote this CXL memory expansion module for AI workstations." This collaborative approach signifies a promising future for the implementation of CXL technology in various AI and machine learning applications, making it an attractive solution for industry professionals.

Wolley Inc., headquartered in San Jose, California, is primarily focused on developing CXL storage solutions and licensing CXL controller IP for datacenter and edge AI/ML applications. Alongside the CXL memory expansion solutions, Wolley offers comprehensive system-on-chip (SoC) design and integration services catering to CXL applications. The company had previously showcased its CXL 3.0 controller core IP at FMS24, highlighting its ongoing commitment to innovation in the domain.

Wolley's introduction of the CXL memory expansion controller represents a pivotal moment in the advancement of computing solutions tailored for AI applications. With the remarkable capacity to unify memory and storage into a seamless, efficient solution, this technology is set to empower on-premises systems to execute long-context LLM inferences both smoothly and at scale.
