Pliops XDP LightningAI Named ‘Best of Show’ at FMS 2024
August 07 2024 - 11:07AM
Pliops, a leading provider of data processors for cloud and
enterprise data centers, today announced that its XDP LightningAI
has received a “Best of Show” Award from FMS: the Future of Memory
and Storage in the LLM Inference Acceleration Category.
“We are thrilled to recognize Pliops for their
innovative contributions to AI and GenAI applications,” said Jay
Kramer, chairman of the Awards Program and president of Network
Storage Advisors Inc. “XDP LightningAI stands out by making
advanced AI technologies not only more efficient and cost-effective
but also significantly reducing their environmental impact.”
Generative AI technology is getting extensive
industry attention thanks to its remarkable benefits across various
use cases. However, the deployment of Generative AI technologies,
particularly large language model (LLM) inference, requires
substantial computational and memory resources. This presents
significant challenges in resource-constrained environments. It
also contributes to increased electricity consumption in data
centers, leading to a higher carbon emission footprint. The cost of
LLM deployments is also a major concern.
The Pliops Extreme Data Processor (XDP) – and
its newest iteration, the ASIC-based XDP PRO – addresses GenAI
challenges by utilizing GPU-initiated Key-Value interface as a
foundation, efficiently processing LLM inference applications to
reduce GPU consumption, data center power usage, and carbon
emissions for hyperscalers and enterprises. This same technology is
seamlessly applicable for Deep Learning Recommendation Models
(DLRM) during both the training and inference stages.
Based on this technology, Pliops developed XDP
LightningAI, a Key-Value distributed smart storage node for GPU
Compute Domain that makes inference for LLMs 80-90% more efficient.
XDP LightningAI also delivers over 50% TCO improvements, reduces
CO2 emissions by 50% and saves 50% on DC cooling costs.
“We are pleased that our efforts to push the
boundaries of AI performance and data storage optimization have
been recognized by FMS,” said Ido Bukspan, Pliops CEO. “Our latest
innovations not only meet the current demands of data-intensive
applications but also anticipate and address future challenges. By
developing our first ASIC-based chip and continuing to enhance our
product offerings, we integrate advanced data processing
capabilities and ensure seamless scalability, empowering
organizations to achieve unprecedented levels of performance and
efficiency in their AI-driven operations.”
