Primemas Shatters AI Memory Wall at FMS 2026 with CXL Full-Stack Products and Micron Collaboration on the Abaco Project
The Abaco Project is a rack-scale compute system with over 100TB of CXL-attached shared and pooled memory, developed for the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) to power next-generation, large-scale scientific AI, HPC, and data-intensive workloads. The project is supported by DOE's Office of Science, Advanced Scientific Computing Research (ASCR) program.
By way of background, as datasets for AI and data-intensive workloads scale beyond traditional hardware boundaries, data centers are severely bottlenecked by static local memory limits. Primemas and Micron Technology are working together to address this fundamental infrastructure challenge by pioneering a new paradigm. Rather than forcing expensive server over-provisioning, the Abaco System Architecture transforms memory into a dynamic, rack-scale infrastructure layer, allowing advanced CPU and GPU compute clusters to seamlessly access hundreds of terabytes of pooled Micron DDR5 memory within a single rack.
