What you get

Dedicated AI inference that works alongside your host.

Designed for flexible integration

Bring dedicated MemryX AI acceleration into your system with an efficient design that balances performance, power, and thermal requirements.

Dedicated AI offload

Offload neural-network inference to MX3 while preserving host compute for the rest of your application. Unified software experience

Unified software experience

Use the same MemryX software workflow—from model compilation through runtime deployment—across single- and multi-chip configurations.

Real-time batch-1 inference

MX3’s pipelined dataflow architecture delivers low-latency inference without relying on large batch sizes.

Inside the architecture

Why MX3 works differently

At-memory compute and a pipelined dataflow architecture deliver efficient, consistent AI inference without requiring developers to redesign their applications around the accelerator.

Accuracy

No retraining required

BFloat16 activations preserve model accuracy through direct recompilation, without requiring retraining or hand-tuning.

Deterministic

Consistent batch-1 latency

A pipelined dataflow architecture keeps multiple inputs in flight at once, maintaining high hardware utilization without batching for asynchronous, low-latency inference.

Integration

Designed to work with your host

MemryX operates as dedicated AI acceleration, offloading neural-network inference from the host processor.

Architecture

At-memory dataflow

The architecture keeps model data close to compute, enabling high-throughput AI processing by minimizing costly data movement.

Flexibility

Build beyond a single model

Run models individually or combine them through concurrent, pipelined, or conditional execution so developers can build around the application — not the accelerator.

Deployment

Built to scale

Scale from compact deployments to multi-chip configurations with a common software foundation as performance requirements grow.
