From AI and networking to data processing and edge analytics, each Kalray DPU is co-designed and optimized for your specific workload, transforming your requirements into a validated, domain-specific accelerator that delivers efficiency, scalability, and control.
Kalray designs custom DPUs using its MPPA® architecture to meet your exact compute requirements.
1. Define The Acceleration Needs Of Your Use Case
- Jointly assess performance, power, and integration requirements.
- Identify bottlenecks and opportunities for hardware offload.
- Tailor architectural options to your business and technical goals.
Outcome: Clear workload definition and performance targets.
2. Translate insights into a modular architecture plan
- Leverage the modular MPPA reference platform to combine compute, memory, and I/O blocks into a domain-specific design.
- Ensure alignment with scalability, flexibility, and efficiency goals.
Outcome: Validated architecture blueprint optimized for your workload.
3. Create And Validate Your Customized DPU
- Reuse proven IP to reduce cost and accelerate development.
- Validate performance and interoperability through Kalray’s co-design and testing framework.
- Choose the delivery format that fits your system — chip, chiplet, or card.
Outcome: Functional prototype ready for integration.
4. Deploy You DPU At Speed And Scale
- Our expert team delivers your DPU faster — from prototype to production in months, not years.
- Supported by Kalray’s software ecosystem, we provide integration guidance and long-term lifecycle support.
Outcome: Full deployment with lifecycle support and optimization.
