AI WILL DRIVE DEMAND FOR EVEN MORE BANDWIDTH
Looking beyond current requirements, deployed servers will soon need to host AI workloads, as defense systems use
deep learning and inference engines to extract critical information from a torrent of incoming sensor data.
Applying AI effectively to real-time applications will demand high-bandwidth, flexible data movement without bottlenecks. This need
is illustrated by an inference engine that is working backward from an assumption to see if there is any available data that supports
the assumption. Low-latency access to a range of data types is essential for effective use of this technique in real-time systems.
AI applications need low-latency access to a range of data types, coming from multiple sensors on multiple platforms.
PCIe 5.0 offers 2x the data throughput for application efficiency.
