Maia 200: A Software Defined Dataflow System for Large-scale AI Acceleration
We introduce Maia 200, an advanced AI accelerator delivering high performance-10 145 Tflop/s FP4 and 5072 Tflop/s FP8 within a 750W TDP and 7 TB/s HBM bandwidth. Maia exemplifies a new class of Software Defined Locally Accessed Dataflow Architectures (SDLA), which explicitly program dataflow engines to orchestrate highly specialized memories and data movement engines. This approach shifts the focus from today's thread-centric to data-movement-centric architecture, improving efficiency and scalability. Our taxonomy of data management, inspired by Flynn's classification, highlights how SDLA addresses challenges in modern AI computing. Maia 200 achieves significant cost and energy savings wh...
