The Rise of AI: Performance Demands Are Growing

Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), and High-Performance Computing (HPC) continue to push the boundaries of connectivity in modern data centers. Hyperscale infrastructures require solutions that deliver high bandwidth, low latency, and reliability without compromising cost-efficiency. As AI applications grow, the need for scalable, affordable communication becomes critical to balance performance and infrastructure investment.

The Role of FPGA: Bridging AI Compute Nodes with 200G/400G Ethernet

FPGA technology bridges PCIe-based AI accelerators and Ethernet networks for seamless communication. Our TOE200GADV-IP Core delivers pure hardware-based 200G TCP offloading, eliminating software bottlenecks to maximize throughput. This enables cost-efficient, high-performance connectivity for AI workloads at scale with 200G/400G or beyond Ethernet speed.
Ethernet vs. InfiniBand:
Balancing Cost and Performance

While InfiniBand has long been recognized for its performance benefits in high-performance environments, it comes with significant cost and complexity. In contrast, Ethernet provides a widely adopted, cost-effective alternative with scalability and compatibility across existing data center infrastructure.
RoCE vs. TCP: Usability Matters


RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE) and TCP/IP both play a role in high-speed communication, but TCP brings unmatched flexibility and usability:
  • RoCE can deliver low latency but often requires specialized network infrastructure, increasing cost and deployment complexity.
  • TCP/IP, supported universally, simplifies implementation on Ethernet networks while delivering sufficient performance for many AI and HPC workloads.
