|
||
* Performance Characteristics (SambaNova DataScale SN30):
|
||
* - Throughput: ~1,600 tokens/second (Llama-7B Q4_K_M)
|
||
* - Latency: 0.6-0.8 ms per token
|
||
* - Architecture: Reconfigurable Dataflow Unit (RDU)
|
||
* - Tiles: Proprietary count (highly parallel)
|
||
* - Memory: HBM with dataflow optimization
|
||
* - TFLOPS: 500+ FP32 equivalent

* - Good scalability (multi-socket)
|
||
*
|
||
* Limitations:
|
||
* - Limited availability (newer)
|
||
* - Higher cost per hour
|
||
* - Requires SambaFlow expertise
|
||
* - Less documentation vs CUDA
|
||
* - Smaller ecosystem
|
||
*
|
||
* Architecture Highlights:
|
||
* - No von Neumann bottleneck
|
||
* - Data flows through fabric (not fetched)
|
||
* - Reconfigurable at runtime
|
||
* - Pipelined execution (high utilization)
|
||
* - Spatial architecture (like FPGA but software-configurable)
|
||
*
|
||
* Deployment Options:
|
||
* - SambaNova DataScale: On-premises systems
|
||
* - SambaNova Cloud: Managed cloud service
|
||
* - Typical: 8-socket systems (8× RDUs)
|
||
* - Scales to large clusters
|
||
*
|
||
* Programming Model:
|
||
* - SambaFlow: Python-based compiler
|
||
* - PyTorch integration
|
||
* - TensorFlow support
|
||
* - ONNX support
|
||
* - Custom dataflow graphs
|
||
*
|
||
* Comparison:
|
||
* - vs GPUs: Better for dynamic models, lower utilization overhead
|
||
* - vs TPUs: More flexible, reconfigurable
|
||
* - vs Cerebras: More available, lower entry cost
|
||
* - vs Graphcore: Different approach (dataflow vs BSP)
|
||
*
|
||
* Use Cases in Production:
|
||
* - Argonne National Lab (AI for science)
|
||
* - Lawrence Livermore (HPC + AI)
|
||
* - Various enterprises (LLM deployment)
|
||
*
|
||
* Cost Analysis:
|
||
* - Higher $/hour than GPU
|
||
* - But: Higher throughput and lower latency
|
||
* - Better $/token for batch inference
|
||
* - ROI depends on scale and workload
