Kalray and Arm to Collaborate to Bring Data Intensive Processing and AI Acceleration DPU Solutions to the Global Arm Ecosystem

Kalray

Kalray, a leader in hardware and software technologies dedicated to data management and data intensive processing from cloud to edge, announced a strategic collaboration with Arm to deliver ultra-high performance data processing and AI capabilities across a broad set of applications, leveraging Kalray’s industry leading data processing unit (DPU) technology and Arm’s robust partner ecosystem.

The ever-increasing demand for advanced data processing and AI capabilities has become a cornerstone of modern applications, ranging from storage and networking appliances to data center servers and edge computing, such as smart vision systems or telecom solutions.

This diverse application spectrum requires innovative solutions that can manage increasing data and processing requirements while delivering peak performance and high levels of power and cost efficiency. The combination of Kalray’s advanced AI and data processing acceleration capabilities paired with the broad Arm partner ecosystem will make high performance solutions for hardware and software developers across global enterprises more accessible.

In practical terms, this collaboration translates into Kalray integrating Arm® Neoverse™ Coherent Mesh Network (CMN) interconnect technology into Kalray’s next generation data processing and AI accelerator chiplet (code named “Dolomites”). This will enable the connection of Kalray’s DPU to Arm-based chiplets1 using the Arm CMN interconnect, delivered in the same package. It’s an innovative approach that optimizes flexibility, performance, power consumption, and cost efficiency; and it’s aimed at opening new horizons for a wide ecosystem of software developers, enabling them to leverage Kalray’s advanced processor capabilities to drive innovation across multitudes of applications.
