For plug and play low latency, scalable performance, GroqCard accelerator packages a single GroqChip™ processor into a standard PCIe Gen4 x16 form factor providing hassle-free server integration. Featuring up to 11 RealScale™ chip-to-chip connections alongside an internal software-defined network, GroqCard enables near-linear multi-server and multi-rack scalability without the need for external switches.

Key Features

Fully deterministic processor provides predictable and repeatable performance with no run-to-run variation. 

230 MB of on-die memory delivers large globally sharable SRAM for high-bandwidth, low-latency access to model parameters without the need for external memory.

Up to 80 TBs on-die memory bandwidth facilitates massive concurrency and data parallelism needed for bandwidth sensitive applications.

Up to 11 RealScale™ chip-to-chip connectors enable near-linear multi-server and multi-rack scalability without the need for external switches.

End-to-end on-chip protection improves uptime and reliability with error-correction code (ECC) protection throughout the entire GroqChip data path.

PCIe Gen4 x16 interface delivers up to 31.5GBs of bi-directional bandwidth in an industry standard interface for fast device and network connections – all with a lightweight open source driver and no CPU burden.
