SiPearl, the company building the high-performance low-power European microprocessor for high-performance computing (HPC) and artificial intelligence (AI) inference, has signed a partnership with Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. to equip its Rhea Series with Samsung’s advanced memory solution ideal for HPC and AI applications.

After an extensive market survey, SiPearl has selected the global leading technology company Samsung. Particularly, it selected its High-Bandwidth Memory (HBM) for its outstanding speed and energy efficiency combined with reduced thermal resistance.

This collaboration will enable SiPearl to leverage Rhea family, its first-generation microprocessor, best-in-class performance and energy efficiency for HPC and AI inference workloads.

Aims for Superior Memory Solution

“We are excited to contribute to the expansion of SiPearl’s unique supercomputer/AI ecosystem with Samsung’s advanced HBM technology,” said Yongcheol Bae, Executive Vice President and Head of Memory Product Planning at Samsung Electronics.

“As the HPC and AI market grows and diverse requirements increase, high-performance, high-bandwidth, low-power solutions are key to support the development of the Rhea Series in the future. We commit to delivering memory solutions that can bring superior performance and efficiency for future HPC and AI applications in close collaboration with SiPearl.”

“At SiPearl, we are thrilled to be a European pioneer in the use of HBM technology in conjunction with Samsung Electronics. Combining our high-performance, low-power microprocessor technologies with built-in HBM is key to meet all the requirements of supercomputing and AI inference workloads. On the fast-growing AI inference market, we think that our product will be a market-leading solution for inference Large Language Model (LLM) tasks providing among other things high flexibility to model changes relative to solutions currently in use,” concluded Philippe Notton, CEO and founder of SiPearl.
