Delivering best-in-class solutions for
artificial intelligence and hardware acceleration applications
Rambus Inc. (NASDAQ: RMBS) today announced that Achronix
Semiconductor Corporation, a leader in FPGA-based hardware data
acceleration devices and high-performance eFGPA IP, has selected
the Rambus GDDR6 PHY for its next-generation Speedster7t FPGA
family. Leveraging the top-end data rates delivered by the Rambus
GDDR6 memory interface, the Speedster7t family is optimized for
artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML) and
high-bandwidth data acceleration applications and workloads.
Designed for performance and power efficiency, the Rambus GDDR6
PHY is beneficial for advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS),
AI, ML, graphics and networking applications. Rambus’ GDDR6 PHY
enables the communication to and from high-speed, high-bandwidth
GDDR6 SDRAM memory, which is a high-performance memory solution
that can be used in a variety of applications that require large
amounts of data computation.
“GDDR6 is emerging as a mainstream memory solution for
high-performance AI/ML and networking applications, and, in
utilizing Rambus’ GDDR6 PHY IP, Achronix is an early leader in
adopting the technology to differentiate its next generation of
products,” said Hemant Dhulla, vice president and general manager
of IP Cores at Rambus. “We are excited to be working with Achronix
to expand its portfolio of high-performance FPGA solutions,
including its latest Speedster 7t family.”
The Rambus GDDR6 PHY is the fastest memory IP on the market, at
16 Gbps. Leveraging its strong signal integrity and system design
expertise, Rambus worked closely with Achronix on their package
design, to support the eight GDDR6 IP controllers on the first
Speedster7t device. Providing up to 4 Tbps of performance, the new
Speedster 7t FPGAs include a revolutionary new 2D network-on-chip
(NoC) and a high-density array of new machine learning processors
(MLP). Merging FPGA programmability with ASIC routing structures
and compute engines, the Speedster7t family creates a new “FPGA+”
class of technology, pushing the boundaries of high-performance
compute acceleration.
“New use cases for GDDR6 such as AI/ML require extremely fast
data transfer between memory and compute,” said Steve Mensor, vice
president of marketing, Achronix. “Rambus’ GDDR6 PHY IP will enable
Achronix’ Speedster7t FPGA family to support these high-performance
data acceleration applications at a low cost with low latency,
allowing it to process complex data loads quickly and
efficiently.”
