MONTREAL, June 19, 2024 /CNW/ – 5C Data Centers (“5CDC”), a provider of state-of-the-art data center services, has announced plans to develop its next data center campus, CMH01, in the Columbus, Ohio region, following the acquisition of a live data center.

Located in one of the fastest growing data center markets in North America, the acquired site encompasses over 1,742,400 square feet of land with a live 66,000 square foot data center. With plans to expand to an additional 320,000 square feet of data center capacity in the next development phase, the site will offer a significant opportunity for 5CDC to deliver data center capacity for high-performance applications to hyperscale, AI and cloud customers.

Thanks to close partnership with the local utility, the site expansion is well under way. 200MW of power capacity is secured and set for delivery to the site, with the first 100MW scheduled for Q1 2025. The first shell is fully leased and will deliver its remaining capacity by Q3 2024. Additional power capacity is being secured, allowing for significant scalability over time.

“We are excited about this new acquisition and development in the Columbus, Ohio region,” said Steve Perez, Founder and President of 5CDC. “Initial discussions with our hyperscale and large cloud customers revealed significant interest, resulting in the first phase of the project already being sold out. Once fully developed, CMH01 will be the one of the largest data center campuses in the region.”

“The acquisition of the facility in the Columbus, Ohio region marks a significant milestone for 5CDC. This is the first of many mega-campuses we plan to announce and are excited about CMH01 given the strong fundamentals and scalability of this particular area for our customers,” said Nick Etscheid, Chief Corporate Development Officer of 5CDC.

Strong collaboration from local government bodies have played a pivotal role in 5CDC’s success in the region. 5CDC is committed to fostering economic growth with an emphasis on sustainability and expanding market presence.

“We are delighted to be working with local partners in Ohio to expand 5CDC’s presence while driving economic development by adding many high-quality, high-paying jobs. Equally important, 5CDC is strongly focused on local sustainability initiatives to ensure our growth aligns with positive impact in the communities where we operate.” said Benjamin Basson, Senior Vice President of Business Development at 5CDC.

HMSDK, a proprietary memory control solution lauded for its performance, is now available on Linux, the world’s largest open source operating systemHMSDK optimizes performance between heterogeneous memories, increasing bandwidth by 30% and performance by over 12%The company will foster the ecosystem by increasing software competitiveness as well as AI memory such as HBM

SEOUL, South Korea, Sept. 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — SK hynix Inc. (or “the company”, www.skhynix.com) announced today that the key features of its Heterogeneous Memory Software Development Kit (HMSDK)1 are now available on Linux2, the world’s largest open source operating system.

1Heterogeneous Memory Software Development Kit (HMSDK): SK hynix’s proprietary software development kit. It enables effective memory control, improving the performance of heterogeneous memory systems such as CXL memory.

2Linux: An operating system developed in 1991 by Linus Torvalds that has since expanded to become the world’s largest open source operating system. Most operating systems for cloud systems and supercomputers, as well as smartphones, cars, and appliances, are built on Linux.

HMSDK is SK hynix’s proprietary software for optimizing the operation of Compute Express Link (CXL)3, which is gaining attention as a next-generation AI memory technology along with High Bandwidth Memory (HBM). Having received global recognition for HMSDK’s performance, SK hynix is now integrating it with Linux. This accomplishment marks a significant milestone for the company as it highlights the company’s competitiveness in software, adding to the recognition for its high-performance memory hardware such as HBM.

3Compute Express Link (CXL): A next-generation interface that efficiently connects CPU, GPU, memory, and other components in high-performance computing systems to support massive, ultra-fast computation. By applying CXL to existing memory modules, the capacity can be expanded by more than 10 times.

In the future, developers around the world working on Linux will be able to use SK hynix’s technology as the industry standard for CXL memory, putting the company in an advantageous position for global collaboration on next-generation memory.

SK hynix’s HMSDK enhances memory package’s bandwidth by over 30% without modifying existing applications. It achieves this by selectively allocating memory based on the bandwidth between existing memory and expanded CXL memory. Additionally, the software improves performance by more than 12% over conventional systems through optimization based on access frequency, a feature which relocates frequently accessed data to faster memory.

The semiconductor industry anticipates full commercialization of CXL in the second half of 2024, coinciding with the release of the first server CPUs featuring the “CXL 2.0” specification. In preparation for this, SK hynix is currently validating CXL 2.0 memory in 96 GB and 128 GB capacities with customers. The company plans to begin mass production by the end of the year.

“For the development and spread of AI systems such as large language models (LLMs), it is now necessary to significantly improve not only semiconductors but also the level of system applications to support them,” said Youngpyo Joo, Head of Software Solution at SK hynix. “With this Linux integration and collaboration, we will strive to improve our status as a total AI memory solutions provider by innovating technologies and expanding the ecosystem in this field.”
