Solving I/O Scaling Challenges in Accelerated Compute with Networking Silicon

Watch a technical presentation from AI Field Day 5 where Rochan Sankar introduces Enfabrica's innovative solution for addressing I/O scaling challenges in accelerated compute clusters. Learn about their Accelerated Compute Fabric (ACF) technology that revolutionizes endpoint attachment to accelerators by integrating PCI switch, NIC array, and network switch functionalities into a single device. Discover how this fully connected I/O hub connects to both compute and network surfaces, enabling high port density and efficient data movement. Explore the technical advantages of collapsing multiple communication layers into a unified system, reducing memory copies and improving GPU burst bandwidth. Understand the device's compatibility with existing PCIe and CXL interfaces, its programmable transport and congestion control features, and how it enhances resiliency through integrated NICs and crossbar switch architecture. Recorded in San Francisco during AI Field Day 5, this hour-long presentation demonstrates how Enfabrica's solution addresses current AI workload challenges while shaping the future of data center architecture.
