Server/CMS/Academia-Research
Welcome to the OCP Server - CMS - Academic Research workstream
OCP Academic Research is a workstream within the Server - CMS Sub-Project.
Leadership
Brian Hirano (email)
Scope
The Academic Research Workstream tracks current academic systems research in composable, heterogeneous, and/or disaggregated memory -- such as CXL -- and shares findings with the participants of the Composable Memory Systems Sub-Project. We also invite authors of key research or leading researchers to present to the CMS community and also foster their participation in CMS or OCP related events such as OCP Global Summit. The Academic Research workstream aspires to provide industry feedback and guidance to researchers and, hopefully in the future with the support from CMS industry members and the OCP Foundation, directly fund researchers in areas of interest to the Composable Memory Systems participants.
The Academic Research workstream was proposed in this presentation from August 4, 2023.
Academic Paper Reviews
Though the Academic Review Workstream has provided the CMS Sub-Project community with relevant paper reviews and rankings, due to the time-intensive nature of this effort, the 1H2024 paper reviews and ranking are the final reviews and ranking from the Workstream members. Moving forward, the Academic Research Workstream will continue provide a list of CMS-relevant papers published at top conferences or authored by academic or industry luminaries and CMS Sub-Project community members can use their LLM of choice to generate summaries tailored to their needs.
- List of 2H2024 papers for self-review (14 papers + 2 keynotes)
- List of 1H2024 papers reviewed and ranked (18 papers)
- List of 2023 papers reviewed and ranked (20 papers)
- "Foundational" CMS-related research (6 papers)
Researcher Presentations to CMS
The Academic Research Workstream invites top academic researchers to present on recently-published research or work-in-progress on CXL, composable and/or disaggregated memory, distributed shared memory, and the characteristics of applications which run on them. The presentations occur on a quarterly cadence during the regularly scheduled Friday CMS meetings.

CMS Tech Day Research Presentations: May 2, 2024
Based on the reviews of the research papers published in 2023 on CMS-related topics, the Academic Research workstream invited authors of the top-ranked papers to present at the CMS Tech Day event at Meta Sunnyvale (San Francisco Bay Area). Four researchers were able to attend in person and two presented remotely. Due to technical difficulties, all presentations from CMS Tech Day -- including the researcher presentations -- were not recorded.
