SAN JOSE, Calif. -- (Business Wire)
Integrated Device Technology, Inc. (IDT®)
(NASDAQ:IDTI) today announced that it has launched an Open
High-Performance Analytics and Computing (HPAC) Lab to address the
real-time application needs of enterprise and cloud computing end users.
The lab supports heterogeneous processing technologies from
industry-leading CPU and accelerator vendors who are connecting their
hardware with IDT’s portfolio of RapidIO® and PCIe®
interconnect semiconductors, advanced timing and memory interface
products.
Based at IDT’s facility in Ottawa, Canada, the Open HPAC Lab runs on a
contribution model. It has been seeded by IDT and partner companies to
enable end users to develop application software for analytics and
high-performance computing (HPC) requiring a variety of processor types
with low latency, high throughput and energy efficiency. Target
applications for the lab workload include real-time analytics, deep
learning, pattern recognition, video analytics and image processing.
The technology at the center of the lab was used for analyzing the
content of Twitter traffic during the 2014 FIFA World Cup Finals, and
was recently adopted by CERN for its Large Hadron Collider and data
center analytics. The lab is based on industry-standard IT form factor
solutions that align with the Open Compute Project (OCP)
High-Performance Computing initiative, which IDT co-chairs.
“As analytics of large amounts of unstructured data become more
important in the hyperscale cloud data center, the need for using
accelerators such as GPUs and FPGAs in conjunction with processors is
paramount, and low-latency interconnect is key to keeping up with the
workload in distributed multi-processor systems,” said Sailesh
Chittipeddi, IDT's chief technology officer and vice president of Global
Operations. “We kicked off the Open HPAC Lab to provide an area of
collaboration for those requiring the low latency and energy efficiency
that RapidIO interconnect delivers.”
“Highly programmable, ultra-high performance GPU technology will
transform hyperscale cloud data centers in such novel areas as real-time
analytics applied at the mobile edge,” said Duncan Poole, director of
Platform Alliances at NVIDIA. “We look forward to working with IDT and
the Open HPAC Lab to enable customers to develop advanced,
next-generation applications on top of the RapidIO heterogeneous
computing platform.”
“Low-latency energy-efficient computing is an important attribute in
scaling both enterprise and cloud data centers,” said Lakshmi Mandyam,
director, server systems and ecosystems, ARM. “With many ARM ecosystem
partners already collaborating with IDT in its Open HPAC Lab, and with
our position as a leading member of RapidIO.org,
we see the work in this lab as a key building block for our partners to
test ARM-based heterogeneous computing on real platforms to accelerate
their application development.”
“The Open HPAC Lab is a practical venue that supports the OCP HPC
initiative, where the unique needs of those end users with the highest
compute-centric workloads in the industry can be addressed,” said Corey
Bell, CEO of the Open Compute Project. “As the work in the OCP HPC group
matures, it will be interesting to see more contributions of hardware
platforms into the Open HPAC Lab, providing our end users a place to
develop end applications prior to building their own systems. This lab
can be a key enabler to the adoption of OCP computing solutions.”
Interested parties may apply to IDT to run analytics projects in the
Open HPAC Lab. Projects with commercial or public applicability will be
selected on a case-by-case basis. Please contact openhpac-lab@idt.com.
The heterogeneous computing available at the Open HPAC Lab will be
demonstrated at the International Supercomputing Conference, Frankfurt,
Germany, through July 16 at RapidIO.org booth 622.
