Penguin Solutions SMART Modular CXL NV-CMM E3.S 2T Memory Module Achieves CXL Compliance

Key Terms

non-volatile memory technical

Non-volatile memory is a type of computer storage that retains data even when power is turned off, like a bookshelf that keeps books safe without electricity. It matters to investors because it underpins devices from phones to data centers, influencing product performance, power use, manufacturing costs and supply chains; shifts in demand, technology or production capacity can affect companies’ revenues and competitive positions.

compute express link technical

Compute Express Link (CXL) is a high-speed connection standard that lets processors, memory modules, and specialized accelerator cards share data and memory more directly and quickly than traditional links. For investors, CXL matters because it can boost server performance, reduce latency, and enable more flexible data-center designs—changes that can increase demand for compatible chips, servers, and cloud infrastructure, similar to how a faster highway improves trade and productivity.

cxl technical

An abbreviation for “cancel” or “canceled,” used in brief notices to indicate that an event, order, meeting, dividend, or other planned action will no longer take place. Investors care because cancellations can change expected cash flows, timing of corporate actions, trading volume or regulatory filings—similar to someone calling off a planned event, which can alter plans and prompt reassessment of value or risk.

persistent storage technical

Persistent storage is the technology and systems that keep digital data saved reliably over time so it survives power loss, restarts, or software updates—like a secure filing cabinet for a company's records, databases and transaction logs. It matters to investors because dependable long-term storage protects legal and financial records, supports day-to-day operations and regulatory compliance, and influences costs and operational risk; failures can cause lost revenue, fines or reputational damage.

in-memory databases technical

An in-memory database stores and accesses data primarily in a computer's working memory (RAM) instead of on slower disks, which makes reading and writing information much faster. For investors, this matters because companies using in-memory databases can process transactions, analyze market data, and deliver customer-facing services in real time—similar to switching from walking to driving—potentially improving product performance, reducing operational delays, and enabling new revenue opportunities or cost savings.

high-performance computing technical

A cluster of very powerful computers, special chips and fast networks designed to tackle huge, complex calculations far faster than a normal PC — like replacing a single delivery van with a synchronized fleet to move a city’s worth of packages. For investors, high-performance computing matters because it enables faster product development, more accurate simulations and data analysis, and new revenue streams for hardware, software and services, making firms that supply or use it potentially more competitive and scalable.
