Revolutionizing Data Centers With FPGA-Powered Kubernetes Acceleration

FPGA and Kubernetes Integration At the heart of Chiptip Technology lies a powerful combination of FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array) and Kubernetes technologies. FPGAs are reconfigurable computing devices that can be programmed with application-specific circuits, delivering performance up to tens of times faster than traditional CPUs. Kubernetes, an open-source platform developed by Google, enables the management and execution of large-scale computations across multiple computers in data centers.

By integrating these technologies, we enable data centers to easily implement high-speed computing using multiple FPGAs orchestrated through Kubernetes. While this basic implementation alone significantly improves the speed and efficiency of existing data center computing, we go further to match Big Tech capabilities.

Cutting Edge Data Center FPGA Technology

Advanced Technologies To provide data centers with performance and efficiency comparable to Big Tech, we've developed two groundbreaking technologies:
  • Network-Attached FPGA Processing
    • Modern cloud AI services run massive AI applications like Large Language Models (LLMs) by coordinating numerous AI-specific chips
    • Traditional systems where AI chips exchange data through CPUs face performance limitations
    • Our technology enables direct network connection of FPGAs, managed through Kubernetes
    • Direct network connection allows efficient execution of large-scale AI applications
    • Ultra-low network latency: While CPU-based software and traditional FPGAs require microseconds for packet processing, our network-attached FPGAs achieve nanosecond-level processing times
    • This capability proves particularly valuable in 5G networks and cybersecurity applications
  • FPGA Virtualization for Cost Optimization
    • In traditional cloud computing, users typically work with virtualized servers
    • Physical servers are divided into multiple virtual instances, each assigned to different users
    • This allows users to pay only for the computing resources they need
    • Traditional data center FPGAs lack virtualization, forcing users to rent entire physical FPGAs even when they don't need the full capacity
    • Chiptip Technology enables FPGA virtualization, similar to server virtualization
    • Users can access and pay for only the FPGA resources they need
    • This innovation enables the operation of high-speed, application-specific hardware at costs lower than AWS EC2 instances with FPGAs

Breaking New Ground

Until now, managing network-attached FPGAs through Kubernetes has been impossible. Our technology breaks through this limitation, enabling seamless integration of FPGAs into the Kubernetes ecosystem. This breakthrough dramatically improves scalability, allowing data centers to manage their FPGA resources as efficiently as they manage their container workloads.

Kubernetes Innovation

Advanced FPGA Orchestration: We've extended standard Kubernetes capabilities by developing specialized controllers that revolutionize FPGA management in data centers. Our technology enables the handling of virtualized FPGAs as native Kubernetes resources - similar to Pods, ReplicaSets, and Deployments.
