The Fungible DPU™: A New Category of Microprocessor for the Data-Centric Era Hot Chips 2020

2023年1月9日 · Today, Microsoft is announcing the acquisition of Fungible Inc., a provider of composable infrastructure aimed at accelerating networking and storage performance in datacenters with high-efficiency, low-power data processing units (DPUs).

2022年12月13日 · DPU startup Fungible has been sold to Microsoft for $190 million despite raising more than $300 million in funding since its incorporation in 2015, according to multiple sources.

2023年1月9日 · Fungible sold DPUs that relied on two operating systems, one open source and the other proprietary, and a microprocessor architecture called MIPS to control flash storage volumes.

2020年8月18日 · The Fungible DPU, which is optimized for data-centric compute, enables line rate storage and security data services, unleashing the full capabilities and blazing fast performance of NVMe SSDs...

2020年10月27日 · One of Fungible’s key differentiators is the Fungible DPU. These DPUs utilize data clusters with MIPS cores, high-speed memory interfaces, accelerators, a PCIe root complex, and high-end networking to effectively move data faster and more efficiently than with traditional general-purpose CPUs such as Intel Xeon or AMD EPYC.

2023年1月11日 · Microsoft has acquired data centre infrastructure provider Fungible to improve its own networking and storage performance. Fungible uses low-power data processing units (DPUs), a type of microprocessor, to achieve this. it claims the technology helps to tackle challenges like the inefficient execution of computations in server nodes, as well as ...

2020年8月21日 · Fungible, an ambitious startup from California, has released its first products, the F1 and S1 data processing units (DPUs) that promise to radically improve performance and cut power...

2020年8月18日 · Fungible sees the DPU as addressing the five root causes of data center inefficiency. All data center computation comes in via packets. Network, storage, virtualization, and security stacks are distributed via packets.
