SiPearl, the company building the high-performance low-power
European microprocessor for HPC1 and AI inference, collaborates
with Samsung Electronics, a world leader in advanced memory
technology, to provide the best performance and energy-efficiency
for HPC and AI workloads. This partnership marks the emergence of a
European pioneer in the use of High-Bandwidth Memory (HBM) for
high-performance low-power microprocessor.
SiPearl, the company building the high-performance low-power
European microprocessor for HPC and AI inference, has signed a
partnership with Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd., a world leader in
advanced memory technology, to equip its Rhea series with Samsung’s
advanced memory solution ideal for HPC and AI applications.
After an extensive market survey, SiPearl has selected the
global leading technology company Samsung, and its High-Bandwidth
Memory (HBM) for its outstanding speed and energy-efficiency
combined with a reduced thermal resistance.
This collaboration will enable SiPearl to leverage Rhea family
best-in-class performance and energy-efficiency for HPC and AI
inference workloads.
“We are excited to contribute to the expansion of SiPearl’s
unique supercomputer/AI ecosystem with Samsung’s advanced HBM
technology,” said Yongcheol Bae, Executive Vice President and Head
of Memory Product Planning at Samsung Electronics. “As the HPC and
AI market grows and diverse requirements increase,
high-performance, high-bandwidth, low-power solutions are key to
support development of the Rhea series in the future. We are
committed to delivering memory solutions that can bring superior
performance and efficiency for future HPC and AI applications in a
close collaboration with SiPearl.”
“At SiPearl, we are thrilled to be a European pioneer in the use
of HBM technology in conjunction with Samsung Electronics.
Combining our high-performance, low-power microprocessor
technologies with built-in HBM is key to meet all the requirements
of supercomputing and AI inference workloads. On the fast-growing
AI inference market, we think that our product will be a market
leading solution for inference Large Language Model (LLM) tasks
providing among other things high flexibility to model changes
relative to solutions currently in use ”, concluded Philippe
Notton, CEO and founder of SiPearl.
