MoSys Announces Integrated Development Environment for Programmable Search Engine
September 05 2018 - 04:05PM
MoSys, Inc. (NASDAQ: MOSY), a provider of semiconductor solutions
that enable fast, intelligent data access for cloud networking,
security, test and video systems, today introduced an Integrated
Development Environment to allow customers to develop or port
proprietary algorithms to the MoSys Programmable Search
Engine. As the unceasing requirements for speed and
scale proliferate across virtually all applications, intelligent
and flexible acceleration of high-speed memory-intensive data
processing functions is a key enabler for networking, security,
video and other systems to deliver higher performance and more
efficient computation. The Programmable Search Engine
and its Integrated Development Environment (IDE) allow for the
flexible implementation of in-memory, customized acceleration
algorithms to improve system performance and efficiency.
The Programmable Search Engine (PSE) is a
derivative of the MoSys high-speed serial memory family that
integrates 32 multi-threaded cores with 1Gbit of high-speed
memory. With interface capability up to 25Gb/s per lane, the
interface bandwidth can scale to over 800Mb/s. The internal memory
architecture consists of SRAM class memory cells with 3ns tRC and
partitioned memory blocks totaling 1Gbit with internal memory
access rates of up to 10 billion memory transactions per
second. Programmable cores provide greater flexibility to
customize the device to support different types of algorithms and
functions. Each of the 32 processor cores supports 8 threads and
can run up to 1.25GHz. The result is a device that allows for
in-memory compute and/or search to deliver significant improvements
in performance and efficiency by reducing host chip resources,
reducing memory transaction latency and interface
bottlenecks.
The architecture is well suited for algorithms
that require SRAM-type high-speed random memory access and updates,
such as search, flow state tracking, statistics, row/column
conversions, summation, sparse matrices, etc. Functions that may
have taken 10-20 transactions or more between host and external
memory can be executed on-chip using a single subroutine call to
save valuable host resources and memory cycles.
“The MoSys Bandwidth Engine® is a proven
industry solution for delivering high-speed serial memory
technology to solve memory bandwidth and access rate bottlenecks,”
said Michael Miller, VP of Applications and Technology Innovation
at MoSys. “With the Programmable Search Engine and its IDE,
customers can evaluate, develop and deliver custom algorithms to
create a programmable in-memory acceleration solution with scalable
performance.”
The Integrated Development Environment platform
utilizes a host FPGA and PSE device to provide a development and
emulation platform. The IDE also includes a software
development environment that allows for editing, loading and
debugging the algorithms on the PSE programming elements.
The IDE platform is available today with MoSys
supporting early customer evaluations using remote login for
convenience. Customers can transition the IDE solution to
either their own platform or a MoSys physical platform, as
needed.
