Kalray’s innovative DPU technology will
increase access to data intensive and AI processing solutions
Kalray (Euronext Growth Paris: ALKAL), a leader in hardware and
software technologies dedicated to data management and data
intensive processing from cloud to edge, today announced a
strategic collaboration with Arm to deliver ultra-high performance
data processing and AI capabilities across a broad set of
applications, leveraging Kalray’s industry leading data processing
unit (DPU) technology and Arm’s robust partner ecosystem.
The ever-increasing demand for advanced data processing and AI
capabilities has become a cornerstone of modern applications,
ranging from storage and networking appliances to data center
servers and edge computing, such as smart vision systems or telecom
solutions.
This diverse application spectrum requires innovative solutions
that can manage increasing data and processing requirements while
delivering peak performance and high levels of power and cost
efficiency. The combination of Kalray’s advanced AI and data
processing acceleration capabilities paired with the broad Arm
partner ecosystem will make high performance solutions for hardware
and software developers across global enterprises more
accessible.
In practical terms, this collaboration translates into Kalray
integrating Arm® Neoverse™ Coherent Mesh Network (CMN) interconnect
technology into Kalray’s next generation data processing and AI
accelerator chiplet (code named “Dolomites”). This will enable the
connection of Kalray’s DPU to Arm-based chiplets1 using the Arm CMN
interconnect, delivered in the same package. It’s an innovative
approach that optimizes flexibility, performance, power
consumption, and cost efficiency; and it’s aimed at opening new
horizons for a wide ecosystem of software developers, enabling them
to leverage Kalray’s advanced processor capabilities to drive
innovation across multitudes of applications.
“We couldn’t be more thrilled to collaborate with Arm and to
bring the unique AI and data intensive processing capabilities
offered by our DPU technology to the global Arm ecosystem,” said
Eric Baissus, Kalray CEO. “This is a visionary step towards shaping
the future of AI processing, making it more accessible, efficient,
and powerful for a wider range of applications."
“AI is becoming integral to the entire compute infrastructure,
driving an insatiable demand for more data and more computing
power,” said Dermot O’Driscoll, vice president of product
solutions, Infrastructure Line of Business, Arm. “By leveraging
Arm’s CMN interconnect technology, Kalray is making its data
acceleration solutions accessible across Arm’s global ecosystem and
we look forward to this collaboration sparking new and impactful
innovation for the era of AI.”
“This announcement maps to our expectation of increasing data
processing solutions that address the expanding set of AI
workloads,” said Howard Holton, chief technology officer, GigaOm.
“The combination of Arm’s unique ecosystem and Kalray’s innovative
DPU technology has the potential to bring the best of two worlds
together at a time when the market has an insatiable appetite for
data intensive processing.”
