Rambus has announced a PCIe 7.0 Switch IP that uses Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) technology. The IP is designed for next-generation AI clusters and high-performance computing (HPC) networks.
TDM enables intelligent scheduling and multiplexing of traffic on shared links. This approach aims to maximize network architecture utilization and support various workloads. The IP allows efficient and deterministic bandwidth scaling while reducing complexity and improving system utilization, according to Simon Blake-Wilson of Rambus.
The accelerated development of AI is reshaping system architecture, and simply adding more channels or endpoints is no longer sufficient, Blake-Wilson said. With the TDM-based PCIe 7.0 switching IP, Rambus provides system architects with greater freedom to scale bandwidth efficiently. This is critical for the scale-out of next-generation advanced AI clusters and HPC networks.
Rambus has not disclosed pricing or availability for the PCIe 7.0 Switch IP.
