SiPearl and NVIDIA announce a strategic collaboration agreement for joint technical and business development to combine SiPearl HPC microprocessors with NVIDIA’s accelerated computing and networking portfolio. NVIDIA and SiPearl will develop a proxy platform for porting activities and Scalable Vector Extension (SVE) workload analysis combining the strengths of SiPearl CPU (such as HBM memory) and NVIDIA GPU (including massive parallelism and throughput).
SiPearl and NVIDIA announce a strategic collaboration agreement for joint technical and business development to combine SiPearl HPC microprocessors with NVIDIA’s accelerated computing and networking portfolio. NVIDIA and SiPearl will develop a proxy platform for porting activities and Scalable Vector Extension (SVE) workload analysis combining the strengths of SiPearl CPU (such as HBM memory) and NVIDIA GPU (including massive parallelism and throughput).
The collaboration will include joint efforts with third-party European research institutions on elements such as Systems-on-Chip (SoC) and Network-on-Chip (NoC) simulation capabilities in open-source and research-oriented modeling tools.
On the software side, the two companies will accelerate the development and growth of the Arm HPC ecosystem, working closely with several European Centres of Excellence. On the hardware side, SiPearl and NVIDIA will work together to ensure the NVIDIA accelerated computing and networking portfolio continues to work seamlessly with SiPearl ‘Rhea’ and future CPUs.
This collaboration with NVIDIA will expand the ecosystem of acceleration solutions provided with SiPearl HPC microprocessors and extend SiPearl’s portfolio of partner acceleration solutions. This joint effort aims to offer the best combinations to meet the application needs of the European HPC community across the strategic fields of academic, artificial intelligence, health, climate, energy, engineering, geology, and government.
SiPearl is designing high-performance, low-power microprocessors for European exascale supercomputers. This new generation of microprocessors will enable Europe to set out its technological authority in strategic high-performance computing (HPC) markets such as artificial intelligence, medical research, or climate modeling.
European technology leaders are excited about this collaboration and believe it holds great potential for the supercomputing space in Europe.
Philippe Notton, SiPearl’s CEO and founder, said:
“We welcome this collaboration with the global No 1 GPU provider for HPC, NVIDIA. This partnership will dramatically enrich our joint offering of our HPC microprocessors with partner acceleration solutions, providing choice to European supercomputer end-users.”
NVIDIA’s vice president of Solutions Architecture and Engineering, Marc Hamilton, agreed, saying:
“HPC research has the potential to transform society with beneficial discoveries. NVIDIA is collaborating with SiPearl, a leading innovator using Arm-based CPUs to integrate NVIDIA accelerated computing and equip HPC researchers with the extreme performance demanded by next-generation applications to fuel these discoveries.”
