Alphawave Semi Drives
Innovation in Hyperscale AI Accelerators with Advanced I/O Chiplet
for Rebellions Inc
Rebellions Selects Alphawave Semi's
Multiprotocol Chiplet Solutions To Deliver Breakthrough Performance
in Generative
AI workloads
LONDON, United Kingdom, and TORONTO, Canada - November 26,
2024 - Alphawave Semi (LSE: AWE), a global leader in high-speed connectivity and compute silicon
for the world's technology infrastructure is pleased to announce that South
Korean AI chip firm Rebellions Inc.
has selected Alphawave Semi's
multiprotocol I/O Connectivity Chiplets
for their next-generation product REBEL. This collaboration will enable Rebellions
to deliver unprecedented bandwidth for
its chiplet-based compute accelerator
SoC.
Rebellions' composable AI
accelerator, designed for Generative AI
workloads in AI and hyperscale data
centers, will leverage industry-leading connectivity from Alphawave
Semi and their expertise in interoperable connectivity IP, custom
silicon design, and chiplets will enable a faster path from
specification to composable silicon, accelerating time to
market.
Alphawave Semi's Advanced I/O
chiplet integrates its PCIe 6.0, CXL 3.1, and Ethernet subsystems
with UCIe 2.0 die-to-die connectivity, delivering a versatile
multi-rate, multi-protocol solution for Network Processing Unit
(NPU) connectivity. This provides Rebellions with a low-risk,
accelerated development timeline, which
enables rapid deployments for hyperscale data centers,
thanks to the silicon-proven functionality and
performance of Alphawave Semi's flexible solutions.
Alphawave Semi's UCIe subsystem
solution serves as the foundation for Rebellions' REBEL
-based chiplet derivatives, enabling high-density, power-efficient die-to-die
communication. Leveraging Alphawave Semi's technology, the
REBEL series includes REBEL-I/O, enhancing I/O connectivity with the latest Ethernet and
PCIe standards via UCIe 2.0-enabled chiplets.
"Alphawave Semi offers the
highest-performance connectivity IPs in the industry, but what
truly influenced our decision was their leadership in customizable
chiplet-based designs," said Jinwook Oh,
the CTO of Rebellions. "They have
demonstrated expertise in both high-speed connectivity and
interoperable chiplet architectures, delivering to the industry not
just proven IP but also standard chiplet products.
This foundation enables us to deliver scalable, AI
workload optimized, chiplet based family. As the first startup to
integrate a chiplet and I/O die architecture, we will continue to
lead in chiplet-based innovation."
"Rebellions' roadmap showcases their
commitment to driving innovation and pushing the boundaries of
performance in the industry," said Mohit Gupta, Alphawave Semi's
SVP and GM, Custom Silicon and IP, of Alphawave Semi. "By embracing
a chiplet approach, they are not only accelerating development
timelines but also ensuring flexibility to address the diverse
demands of AI workloads."
Rebellions announced that
REBEL will be deployed as
modular building blocks, scalable from single cards to full racks.
The company claims the Rebellions' chiplets
demonstrates remarkable gains in energy efficiency in running
prominent models compared to incumbent solutions.
In June 2024, Alphawave Semi announced the
tape-out of AlphaCHIP1600-IO,
the industry's first multi-protocol I/O chiplet,
which combined PCIe, CXL, Ethernet and UCIe on a single
chiplet.
