Technology leaders tie up over Open Acceleration Framework to Data Centers
To bring a high-performance open acceleration framework to data centers, Advanced Micro Devices, ARM, Huawei, IBM, Mellanox, Qualcomm Technologies Inc., and Xilinx, Inc. have collaborated. The companies are collaborating on the specification for the new Cache Coherent Interconnect for Accelerators (CCIX). A single interconnect technology specification will ensure that processors using different instruction set architectures (ISA) can coherently share data with accelerators and enable efficient heterogeneous computing – significantly improving compute efficiency for servers running data center workloads.
“AMD strongly supports development of open standards to make heterogeneous computing more pervasive. By joining with others in the industry to develop new interconnect specifications to accelerate performance, AMD continues its commitment to open, heterogeneous computing,” said Gerry Talbot, AMD Corporate Fellow and Vice-President of I/O and Circuit Technologies...Read More
