NVIDIA defines a cluster-level context-memory storage tier
NVIDIA's Inference Context Memory Storage Platform uses BlueField-4, Spectrum-X, DOCA, NIXL, and Dynamo to place and share KV-cache state across rack-scale systems.
Why it matters
It targets the same context-capacity pressure as write-oriented HBF research, but at a networked cluster storage tier rather than package-local NAND. The stated efficiency gains are NVIDIA claims.
