ARM's IP for high speed networking (NIC 100-200Gbps, switches or SerDes)
Posted by Primary_Olive_5444@reddit | hardware | View on Reddit | 2 comments
Does anyone knows or have good links to research papers that have talked about ARM's IP in the high speed networking space? like 200Gbps or 100Gbps NIC/switches or SerDes design/IP offering.

From their webpage, it doesn't seem to mention much about high speed networking offering.
e.g.
Broadcom -> have their Tomahawk stuff
Tomahawk Ultra – Ultra Low Latency, High Bandwidth Ethernet Switch for HPC & AI/ML applications

Nvidia -> Mellanox ConnectX series for AI @ data centre
Intel -> Barefoot networking stuff NIC and Intel custom IPU for google data centre
What's the direct/indirect equivalent or closest product offering that's comparable to the examples mentioned above?

Is there anything to suggest ARM has that IP? You might be better off looking at what Cadence/Synopsys have.

Based on my search (which is just going to their webpages and past hotchips archive) i find not much content.
But for a company that just started its first custom silicon to Meta and license out IP for ARM server chips (CSS-gensis) I would imagine networking is also important as well.
Compute and networking you need both in AI era.
