Grenoble, France, April 2, 2024–(Business Wire)–Kalray (Euronext Growth Paris: ALKAL), a leading provider of hardware and software solutions that accelerate data-intensive workflows from the cloud to the edge, announced the commercial availability of its latest product, the TURBOCARD4 (TC4) acceleration card. Powered by Kalray's latest generation of his four DPU processors, the TC4 targets the rapidly growing market of AI-powered smart vision and data indexing applications. The TC4 is manufactured in France at the French factory of Asteelflash, one of the world's leading global manufacturers. Kalray has already received initial orders for over $1 million (hundreds of cards)1 To be recognized this year.
TC4 targets fast-growing compute acceleration card market
As the amount of data that enterprises and data centers must process continues to increase, computing acceleration cards are increasingly being sought after to achieve the highest performance and highest power efficiency in data processing.
“The availability of our new TC4 acceleration card is a major step for Kalray in preparing us for widespread adoption of our latest acceleration technology. “We envision rapid commercialization as demand for data processing acceleration solutions continues to grow,” said Eric Baissus, CEO of Kalray.
“Furthermore, we are very proud to announce that the TC4 is our first ‘Made in France’ product. Production is rapidly increasing at the world leading manufacturer AsteelFlash’s factory in Langon.”
Built to combine AI and traditional computing
TC4 embodies Kalray's vision to address the complex demands of modern computing workloads. Featuring four of Kalray's latest generation Coolidge2 DPUsTM, Kalray's TC4 is designed to help customers integrate traditional and AI-based processing technologies in a single PCIe card to create superior efficiency-driven systems for the most processing-intensive AI applications. It has been. DPUs provide a highly complementary architecture to GPUs, allowing many different operations to be processed asynchronously and in parallel. DPUs are well-suited for preprocessing data that is later used by GPUs or in the context of complex intelligent systems that run many different algorithms in parallel.
Targeting two fast-growing markets: smart vision market…
TC4 is strategically targeting two rapidly growing markets. The first is the smart vision market. Smart vision applications play a pivotal role in innovative fields such as industry, health sciences, and smart city operations, as they can analyze visual data in real time, make intelligent decisions, and automate complex processes. I am. The Smart Vision market size was valued at USD 20.31 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach USD 175.72 billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 27.3% (Fortune Business Insights). These predictions highlight the growing demand for smart vision technology across industries due to advances in AI and machine learning and their applications in automation, quality control, and improving operational efficiency.
…and GEN-AI market data index
In the context of Generative AI, data indexing is important for several reasons. Generative AI models used in natural language processing and image generation often require access to vast datasets. Efficient indexing minimizes the time required to fetch relevant data, speeding up the training and inference process.
Additionally, as generative AI models become more complex, the datasets they are trained on grow exponentially. Indexing data allows these models to scale more effectively by eliminating the linear increase in access time with increasing data volume.
Data indexing also improves the accuracy of your model's output by quickly identifying the most relevant parts of your data to insert and prompt into the model's context. This ensures that the model output is as accurate and context-appropriate as possible.
TC4 production moved to ASTEELFLASH France factory
Kalray's commitment to quality and desire to move production to Europe led them to partner with Asteelflash for TC4 production. Asteelflash is one of the world's leading electronic manufacturing services (EMS) companies, specializing in complex, high-tech manufacturing solutions across a variety of industries. Asteelflash has several factories in Europe, including Germany and France. Production of the TC4 takes place at the Langon factory in France. This partnership is supported by the French Government as part of the CARAIBE-funded project. Production is expected to increase from the current several hundred units per month to several thousand units by 2025.
