RecAccel™ N3000

The Neuchips RecAccel N3000 is a specialized AI acceleration solution designed for deep learning recommendation models (DLRM), offering exceptional performance and efficiency. The solution's core technology advantages center around its advanced FFP8 technology, which features patented FFP8 quantization that maintains >99.95% FP32 accuracy while improving efficiency. The system achieves remarkable performance metrics, delivering over 20M inferences per second at just 20 Watts power consumption, made possible through its implementation of the TSMC 7nm process.

From a hardware perspective, the RecAccel N3000 comes as a dual-slot PCI Express Gen5 card with an architecture custom-designed for recommendation inference workloads. One of its most notable features is the ability to demonstrate near-linear performance scaling with multiple cards, while delivering a 1.7x improvement in performance-per-watt compared to alternatives.

The software ecosystem supporting the N3000 is equally robust, featuring a comprehensive SDK that includes automated tooling for network deployment. Developers benefit from a suite of development tools including an FFP Quantizer, bit-true simulator, and performance estimator. Integration support is streamlined through included debugger and calibration tools, while proprietary recommender operators and configurable resource allocation ensure optimal performance.

Performance validation has been thoroughly demonstrated through MLPerf v3.0 benchmarks, where the system showed industry-leading results. The solution maintains 99.9% accuracy using its proprietary INT8 calibrator, and notably achieved nearly 100% linear scaling across multiple cards during testing.

In terms of sustainability and business impact, the N3000's optimized architecture ensures minimal power consumption, leading to a lower overall total cost of ownership through improved efficiency. The system is specifically designed for elastic data center environments, and supports sustainability initiatives between hyperscalers and CSPs.

As organizations increasingly rely on recommendation systems for their operations, the RecAccel N3000 represents a significant advancement in AI recommendation acceleration. It successfully combines high accuracy, exceptional performance, and energy efficiency in a scalable solution that meets the demands of modern data center deployments.
