IBM Spyre Accelerator : Enterprise-Grade PCIe AI Acceleration for UK Mainframes
IBM Spyre Accelerator is a new-age enterprise-ready AI unit that provides an AI inferencing accelerator with CA performance at very energy-efficient levels of AI compute . Based on an SoC of 5nm and engineered with 32 dedicated AI acceleration cores, the Spyre system is productive in low-power AI computing via optimized low-precision numeric formats (int4/int8). Each Spyre card plugs into PCIe and is capable of being clustered up to eight cards (256 cores)-for massive, scalable AI PCIe card UK environments.
- Forceful on-card processing power with a high-density AI acceleration of 25.6 billion transistors and an interconnect of 14 miles.
- Clusters of up to eight Spyre cards (256 cores) per system-or even more within z17 systems with expanded slots-for high-performance deployments.
- Reduced memory usage, along with reduced energy consumption, would be helpful for speedy and efficient AI inferencing accelerator workloads.
- Direct communications between compute engines eliminate classical CPU-memory bottlenecks for decreased latency and ultimately increased throughput.
