Broadcom has developed a switch silicon with a built-in neural networking engine called NetGNT, designed to combat network congestion without compromising latency or throughput.
The Trident 5-X12 chip, which features NetGNT, can be trained to identify various traffic patterns and is particularly effective at addressing congestion associated with AI workloads.
The chip is capable of pushing around 16 Tbps of bandwidth and is expected to be deployed in AI compute clusters to alleviate networking bottlenecks.
