OFA 2025 Webinar Series

If you haven't already registered, we hope you will join the next webinar in
our multi-part series taking place Thursday, October 23, 2025, as we explore
OFA Sunfish—its mission, architecture, and how it orchestrates disaggregated
resource pools to simplify HPC and AI/ML at scale. 

We’ll show how Sunfish interacts with H3’s CXL-FAM appliance, walking
through an end-to-end example that previews a demo slated for SC’25. Then
we’ll look at practical complexities of CXL implementation in customer
environments, focusing on deploying core features such as memory sharing and
switching to solve real-world scaling challenges. You’ll leave with a high-
level view of H3’s CXL offerings and how CXL exemplifies the broader shift to
disaggregated compute and memory for next-gen data centers.
