Kalray MPPA® Manycore

Kalray MPPA® Manycore provides high-performance, energy-efficient data acceleration cards for storage and compute applications using a massively parallel processor array architecture.

Description

The Kalray MPPA® Manycore project focuses on data acceleration cards, specifically the K200 Storage Acceleration Cards and TURBOCARD4 Compute Acceleration Cards. These cards leverage Kalray's Coolidge and Coolidge2™ DPUs (Data Processing Units), offering high performance and programmability for data-intensive workloads. The architecture is massively parallel, enabling efficient handling of heterogeneous processing tasks. Key features include AI acceleration capabilities, low power consumption, and an open software environment. These cards are designed to significantly improve performance per watt and per dollar, addressing the needs of modern computing environments struggling with data explosion.

Features

The Kalray MPPA® Manycore architecture features a massively parallel processor array, utilizing Coolidge and Coolidge2™ DPUs. Key characteristics include high performance (up to 25 TFLOPs (16 bits)/50 TOPs (8 bits) AI acceleration), low power consumption (as low as 30W), and open, pluggable architectures. The cards support high-speed interfaces and offer features like secure islands, encryption/decryption, and secure boot. They are designed for easy programming and integration with existing systems.

Benefits

The Kalray MPPA® Manycore architecture provides significant benefits including: processing more data faster due to its high-performance data-centric processor and parallel processing capabilities; ease of programming and integration through its fully programmable and open software environment; leveraging state-of-the-art networking technologies with its high-speed interfaces; enhanced data security with secure islands, encryption/decryption, and secure boot; and improved power efficiency, enabling more data processing per watt.
