SambaNova Breaks Records: Transforming AI Processing with Unmatched Speed

The Centre of Samba-1-Turbo’s performance is the Reconfigurable Dataflow Unit (RDU)…Their limited on-chip memory capacity often hampered GPUs, necessitating frequent data transfers between GPU and system memory…SambaNova’s RDU, however, boasts a massive pool of distributed on-chip memory through its Pattern Memory Units (PMUs). Positioned close to the compute units, these PMUs minimize the need for data movement, thus vastly improving efficiency.
