AI专用算力芯片

AI专用芯片各类产品形态:ASIC/GPU/XPU/FPGA,...
AI计算板卡/模组之间的机箱集群互联技术
NVLINK,Inifiband,Ethernet
便宜又大碗的,只有以太网技术~
在规模较小的时候,AI加速板卡与板卡之间的通信是在一个服务器机箱内,依靠PCIE/CXL即可搞定,但随着训练模型的增大,AIGC等火热,跨机箱的通信是个迈不过去的坎了,高带宽,低延迟,高可靠性都混杂在一起的需求属实难办。
NVLINK是绑定在全家桶里面销售的,没有单卖的方案。IB属实不算开发的技术,成本贼高暂不提。Ethernet属于便宜又大碗的,生态开放,虽然比较古老,有各种小毛病需要克服,但修修补补还是挺能打的。
尤其是国内市场信创产业的要求,Ethernet以太网技术的互联将是AI算力板卡模块之间高速互联/集群互联的阳光出路。
有必要重新介绍一下XENA公司
原:Xena Networks/信雅纳网络
专注做有线以太网测试仪表的丹麦厂商,提供L27完整的测试解决方案,只要是带以太网网口的,我们都能测。
产品性能与思博伦Spirent, 意达康Ixia可以对飙的,价格与国产打流仪表很接近。
以上这两句是以前拜访客户的时候常说的,... 虽有一些夸大的成分,但也基本属实。
然后那时候有好几个产品系列支持不同的测试场景:
Valkyrie产品系列
针对Layer23的性能测试测试产品:Odin-10/100/1000M千兆,Odin-100M/1/2.5/5/10G万兆,Loki-10/25/40/50/100G QSFP28 100G,Thor-10/25/40/50/100/200/400G QSFP-DD 400G,还有支持汽车以太网的支持TSN特性的版本,以及支持工业以太网特性的AE版本
主要用以验证吞吐量/延迟/抖动/丢包率/以太网业务性能和业务品质
Vulcan产品系列
针对Layer47层的性能测试产品:CC,CPS,TPS等各类并发,真实的负载业务流量仿真,主要是用在测试防火墙,DPI,网闸等安全类设备的功能和性能上
Chimera产品系列
针对10/25/40/50/100G高速以太网的负面压力测试工具,可以提供10ns级别的时延注入,抖动注入,误码注入,报文重复,比特修改等
Vantage产品系列
针对亚太市场的产线的网络性能验收测试工具,可以集成客户的MES生成制造系统进行网络性能的验收测试
Safire产品系列
针对企业IT运维场景,SD-WAN,NGFW评测等场景推出的防火墙测试评测工具
Virtual产品系列
针对云原生的环境进行部署测试场景,提供L23和L47的完整性能测试验证
现:Teledyne Lecroy Xena
然后的然后,我们在去年的10月份,并入到了Teledyne Lecroy. Xena成为了它的一个子品牌
产品线也就该砍掉的砍掉的,该整合的整合,把L47层防火墙测试产品拿掉了
剩下的产品线都归在Xena产品线,原公司名称成了产品系列的名称
而且为了更好的对齐Teledyne Lecroy的产品系列,命名形式也改了
对应的Z系列为Traffic Generator & Analysisor,E系列为Emulator

Will Expand Teledyne LeCroy’s Protocol Test Portfolio to include Terabit Ethernet Traffic Generation and Network Emulation
THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. – October 3, 2023 – Teledyne Technologies Incorporated (NYSE:TDY) (“Teledyne”) announced today that it has entered into an agreement to acquire Xena Networks ApS (“Xena Networks”). Xena Networks, headquartered outside of Copenhagen, Denmark, is a leading provider of high-speed Terabit Ethernet validation, quality assurance, and production test solutions.
“The Xena Networks acquisition will further establish our leadership in the protocol test market, extending our reach to Ethernet system validation engineers, quality assurance labs, and production lines for test, evaluation, and acceptance of Ethernet components and systems,” said Robert Mehrabian, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer of Teledyne. “The acquisition of LeCroy in 2012 provided a healthy and growing portfolio of protocol test businesses focused on PCI Express, USB as well as storage and networking technologies. Since then, we expanded Teledyne LeCroy’s protocol test business with multiple acquisitions, including Quantum Data (for video), Frontline (for Bluetooth and WiFi) and OakGate (for storage devices test solutions). Xena Networks will be a powerful addition to this strong and growing protocol test portfolio.”
Artificial intelligence and machine learning, high-performance computing and 5G all require ever higher speeds of data transmission and fuel the need for new solutions to test next generation Terabit Ethernet network components. The same network equipment manufacturers that today use Teledyne LeCroy’s network protocol analysis and error injection tools also require high-performance Ethernet traffic generation and network emulation test tools to validate product designs. Xena Networks test tools offer in-depth Ethernet link training and auto negotiation test capabilities, which next generation Terabit Ethernet products need to ensure that expected performance is achieved. “Combining the
