GDDR7: The Ideal Memory Solution in AI Inference

The generative AI market is experiencing rapid growth, driven by the increasing parameter size of Large Language Models (LLMs). This growth is pushing the boundaries of performance requirements for training hardware within data centers. For an in-depth look at this, consider the insights provided in "HBM3E: All About Bandwidth". Once trained, these models are deployed across a diverse range of applications. They are transforming sectors such as finance, meteorology, image and voice recognition, healthcare, augmented reality, high-speed trading, and industrial, to name just a few.

The critical process that utilizes these trained models is called AI inference. Inference is the capability of processing real-time data through a trained model to swiftly and effectively generate predictions that yield actionable outcomes. While the AI market has primarily focused on the requirements of training infrastructure, there is an anticipated shift towards prioritizing inference as these models are deployed.

The computational power and memory bandwidth required for inference are significantly lower than those needed for training. Inference engines typically need between 300-700GB/s of memory bandwidth, compared to 1-3TB/s for training. Additionally, the cost of inference needs to be lower, as these systems will be widely deployed not only in data centers but also at the network's edge (e.g., 5G) and in end-user equipment like security cameras, cell phones, and automobiles.

When designing an AI inference engine, there are several memory options to consider, including DDR, LPDDR, GDDR, and HBM. The choice depends on the specific application, bandwidth, and cost requirements. DDR and LPDDR offer good memory density, HBM provides the highest bandwidth but requires 2.5D packaging, and GDDR offers high bandwidth using standard packaging and PCB technology.

The GDDR7 standard, announced by JEDEC in March of this year, features a data rate of up to 192GB/s per device, a chip density of 32Gb, and the latest data integrity features. The high data rate is achieved by using PAM3 (Pulse Amplitude Modulation) with 3 levels (+1, 0, -1) to transmit 3 bits over 2 cycles, whereas the current GDDR6 generation uses NRZ (non-return-to-zero) to transmit 2 bits over 2 cycles.

GDDR7 offers many advantages for AI Inference having the best balance of bandwidth and cost. For example, an AI Inference system requiring 500GB/s memory bandwidth will need only 4 GDDR7 DRAM running at 32Gbp/s (32 data bits x 32Gbp/s per pin = 1024Gb/s per DRAM). The same system would use 13 LPDDR5X PHYs running at 9.6Gbp/s, which is currently the highest data rate available (32 data bits x 9.6Gb/s = 307Gb/s per DRAM).

Cadence stands at the forefront of AI inference hardware support, being the first IP company to roll out GDDR7 PHYs capable of impressive speeds up to 36Gb/s across various process nodes. This milestone builds on Cadence's established leadership in GDDR6 PHY IP, which has been available since 2019. The company caters to a diverse client base spanning AI inference, graphics, automotive, and networking equipment.

While GDDR7 continues to utilize standard PCB board technology, the increased signal speeds seen in GDDR6 (20Gbp/s) and now GDDR7 (36Gb/s) calls for careful attention with the physical design to ensure optimized system performance. In addition to providing the PHY, Cadence also offers comprehensive PCB and package reference design, which are essential in helping customers achieve optimal signal and power integrity (SI/PI) for their systems.

Cadence is dedicated to ensuring customer success beyond just providing hardware. They provide expert support in SI/PI, collaborating closely with customers throughout the design process. This approach ensures that customers can benefit from Cadence's expertise in navigating the complexities of high-speed design and achieving optimal performance in their AI inference systems.

DDR5 12.8Gbps MRDIMM IP: Powering the Future of AI, HPC, and Data Centers

The demand for higher-performance computing is greater than ever. Cutting-edge applications in artificial intelligence (AI), big data analytics, and databases require high-speed memory systems to handle the ever-increasing volumes and complexities of data. Advancements in cloud computing and machine virtualization are stretching the limits of current capabilities. AI applications hosted in the cloud rely on fast access and reduced latency in memory systems, which is amplified by an increasing number of CPU and GPU cores.

Introducing the DDR5 Multiplexed Rank DIMM (MRDIMM), the next-generation memory module technology designed to meet the needs of high-performance computing (HPC) and AI in cloud applications. By leveraging existing DDR5 DRAM memory devices, MRDIMM modules not only double the DRAM data rate but also maintain the RAS capabilities of the industry-proven RDIMM modules, setting a new precedent for memory module performance.

Let’s compare RDIMM and MRDIMM modules using the same DRAM parts. Today, high-speed production DDR5 RDIMM modules run at 5600Mbps. Those modules use DDR5 DRAM parts, which also run at 5600Mbps. An MRDIMM module using the same DDR5 5600Mbps DRAM parts will run at a blazing 11.2Gbps.

One key metric for best-in-class performance, low bit error rate (BER), and ease of adoption is the eye diagram. The eye diagram illustrates at-speed system margin and accurately represents DDR system quality when captured with a pseudo-random binary sequence (PRBS)-like pattern. The diagram below illustrates Cadence’s 3nm silicon write eye diagram for DDR5 MRDIMM IP running at 12.8Gbps.

Cadence 3nm DDR5 MRDIMM 12.8Gbps test chip write eye diagram, design kit is available today

The eye diagram is captured using a PRBS-like pattern, incorporating a package and system board representative of a typical MRDIMM channel. Using PRBS-like patterns is crucial for capturing accurate eye diagrams. Repetitive clock-like data patterns create deceptively “open eyes” that do not reflect the real system performance. Effects like intersymbol interference, simultaneous switching, reflections, and crosstalk are not accurately reflected in the eye diagrams for parallel interfaces like DDR using non-random data streams. Relying on improperly captured eye diagrams inevitably leads to a significantly worse real system BER than conveyed by that eye diagram.

Doubling the DDR5 RDIMM data rate is challenging. Achieving high performance while optimizing for area and power requires multiple design techniques. Feed-forward equalization (FFE), decision feedback equalization (DFE), continuous-time linear equalization (CTLE), and T-coils are required to reach 12.8Gbps MRDIMM data rates in multi-channel systems. Building a production-worthy 12.8Gbps DDR5 MRDIMM IP requires engineering expertise that comes from many generations of memory interface design and production experience. Cadence has developed this expertise through multiple DDR5/4, LPDDR5X/5, and GDDR6 designs in different technology nodes and foundries. For instance, Cadence’s GDDR6 IP is available in three foundries and ten process nodes, with mass production at speeds exceeding 22Gbps.

For your next project, consider DDR5 12.8Gbps MRDIMM, a technology that not only doubles the bandwidth of DDR5 RDIMM but also promises rapid proliferation into next-generation AI, data center, HPC, and enterprise applications. With its cutting-edge capabilities, the Cadence DDR5 12.8Gbps MRDIMM IP is ready to power the future of computing.
