• The Growing Need for Data Processing Units (xPUs)

    September 8, 2022 adminAzimuth Hardware Accelerator

    This talk from the Storage Networking Industry Association (SNIA) discusses the growth in data-centric tasks in data centers today. These consist of multiple streams of high bandwidth data for storage, networking or security applications. This trend has created the need for new hardware such as smart NICs, DPUs (data processing units) and other xPUs which contain accelerators to offload tasks from the main CPU. At Azimuth Technology, our first IP offering is a hardware accelerator for cryptography which can be integrated into the coherent domain of a CPU, GPU or DPU to accelerate TLS encryption/decryption.

    Our current IP in development is a hardware accelerator (HWA) to accelerate cryptographic processing targeted towards RISC-V or ARM cores. Hardware accelerators allow computing systems to accelerate the performance of a particular class of applications by providing hardware support at the algorithmic level.
