SNAX: A Heterogeneous and Accelerator-centric Compute Cluster

Lectured by Ryan Antonio

What

Heterogeneous accelerator-centric compute clusters are emerging as efficient solutions for diverse compute workloads. However, current HW and SW integration strategies often compromise efficiency and encounter compatibility issues. The challenges of integration prevents a unified approach that balances performance and ease of use. In this seminar, we present SNAX, an open-source integrated HW-SW framework enabling efficient multi-accelerator platforms through a novel hybrid-coupling scheme, consisting of loosely coupled asynchronous control and tightly coupled data access. SNAX brings reusable hardware modules designed to enhance compute accelerator utilization, and its customizable MLIR-based compiler to automate key system management tasks, jointly enabling rapid development and deployment of customized multi-accelerator compute clusters.
