Recently, a partnership between Achronix and Bluespec has been in the news. Bluespec RISC-V processors are available as soft cores in a Speedster®7t FPGA on Achronix’s VectorPath® PCIe development card or in a standalone Speedster7t FPGA. We spoke with executives from Achronix and Bluespec about the impetus for this effort … Read More
Large language model (LLM) processing dominates many AI discussions today. The broad, rapid adoption of any application often brings an urgent need for scalability. GPU devotees are discovering that where one GPU may execute an LLM well, interconnecting many GPUs often doesn’t scale as hoped since latency starts piling up with… Read More
We are living in the age of big data and the future is going to be even more data centric. Today’s major market drivers all have one thing in common: efficient management of data. Whether it is 5G, hyperscale computing, artificial intelligence, autonomous vehicles, or IoT, there is data creation, processing, transmission, and … Read More
Smart network interface cards (SmartNICs) have proven themselves valuable in improving network efficiency. According to Scott Schweitzer, senior product manager at Achronix, it has been shown that SmartNICs can relieve up to – and perhaps beyond – 30% of the host processor’s loading. SmartNICs started out taking… Read More
The major market drivers of today all have one thing in common and that is the efficient management of data. Whether it is 5G, hyperscale computing, artificial intelligence, autonomous vehicles or IoT, there is data creation, processing, transmission and storage. All of these aspects of data management need to happen very fast.… Read More
