On-chip data fabric

As compute units multiply, system efficiency depends on data arriving at the right place at the right time. The VXI on-chip data fabric coordinates data paths, traffic, and module communication around each workload so the whole architecture behaves as one system.

Why it matters

Coordinate data paths, traffic governance, and module communication around each workload.

  • Workload-aware data paths

    Transfer paths follow the data needs of each model stage, reducing congestion and stalls.

  • Traffic governance and QoS

    Different data streams get their own priorities so critical inference tasks stay responsive.

  • Scalable modular integration

    Consistent interfaces link compute, memory, and peripheral modules, supporting a family of platforms.

How it works

  1. Traffic analysis

    Characterize dataflow patterns and bandwidth hot spots during model execution.

  2. Path planning

    Assign the best routes for weights, activations, and control messages.

  3. Dynamic scheduling

    Coordinate streams at runtime by task priority to avoid resource contention.

  4. System co-optimization

    Tune end-to-end efficiency together with the memory hierarchy and runtime.

Frequently asked questions

Why does on-chip interconnect matter?
In AI silicon, moving data often costs more time and energy than computing on it. A well-designed fabric lets modules work together, cutting stalls and raising overall utilization.
How does the platform stay stable with several AI tasks at once?
VXI coordinates data streams with traffic governance and priority mechanisms, keeping critical tasks responsive while background work continues.
How does the fabric support different product platforms?
Modular fabric interfaces integrate compute, memory, and peripherals consistently, helping one architecture extend across multiple product platforms.
