A Product of IDT’s Open High-Performance
Analytics and Computing Lab, the Platform is Optimized for
Computing Services in Access Networks and Video Network
Distribution
Integrated Device Technology, Inc.® (IDT®) (NASDAQ: IDTI) today
announced that it has launched a heterogeneous mobile edge
computing platform that performs real-time Big Data analytics and
deep learning with low-latency computing at the network edge.
Developed at IDT’s Open High-Performance Analytics and Computing
(HPAC) lab, the platform utilizes modules currently in production
and is based on innovations and collaboration with NVIDIA, Prodrive
Technologies and Concurrent Technologies PLC.

“Network operators are looking for ways to add analytics
capabilities on large amounts of unstructured data close to users,
by pushing more compute capacity to the network edge, rather than
sending data on the backhaul to the core of the network data
centers,” said Sailesh Chittipeddi, chief technology officer and
vice president of Global Operations at IDT. “IDT’s Mobile Edge
Computing Platform offers network and data center operators, as
well as systems integrators, a quick path to computing at the edge
by connecting accelerators based on a heterogeneous architecture
with IDT’s low-latency RapidIO products.
“This is becoming more important with high-bandwidth streaming
video and associated analytics that need to happen close to the
last mile where users are located,” Chittipeddi noted.
The new platform is based on a 1U form factor server and
features heterogeneous computing with NVIDIA® Tegra® K1 processors
and x86 CPUs. The computing elements are connected using RapidIO
fabric technology with about 100ns switching latency and 20 Gbps
ports, with upcoming versions using RapidIO 10xN technology
accelerated to 50 Gbps. The platform can be populated with
appropriate mixes of processor types and accelerator capacity to
optimize workloads for deep learning and analytics at the edge of
the wireless network. Co-located with base stations, it is possible
to support in ATCA form factors if required. The modular building
blocks can be deployed by carriers for server functionality at the
wireless base station, Cloud Radio Access Network (C-RAN) or in the
central office. And with distributed data center functions becoming
increasingly important for streaming video applications, the
platform can also be deployed at the network point of presence.
Five 1U systems can be meshed together in a network that can
support up to 60 teraflops of computing capacity using the
energy-efficient NVIDIA Tegra processors. In a central office, up
to 40 1U systems can be connected in an industry-standard data
center rack to deliver up to half a petaflop of compute
performance.
"Prodrive Technologies has developed an extensive suite of
RapidIO-based server and supercomputing solutions for a variety of
markets,” said Pieter Janssen CEO of Prodrive Technologies. "Our
latest collaboration with IDT on heterogeneous computing is in the
initial Mobile Edge Computing Platform, which builds on our RapidIO
top-of-rack switching solutions already developed for both C-RAN
and high-performance computing markets."
The initial Mobile Edge Computing Platform is focused on GPU and
x86 technologies and is available by contacting
openhpac-lab@idt.com. Other versions in development are based on
ARM, DSP, FPGA, and PowerPC options.
