Abstract
Methods and apparatus for an accelerator controller hub (ACH). The ACH may be a stand-alone component or integrated on-die or on package in an accelerator such as a GPU. The ACH may include a host device link (HDL) interface, one or more Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) interfaces, one or more high performance accelerator link (HPAL) interfaces, and a router, operatively coupled to each of the HDL interface, the one or more PCIe interfaces, and the one or more HPAL interfaces. The HDL interface is configured to be coupled to a host CPU via an HDL link and the one or more HPAL interfaces are configured to be coupled to one or more HPALs that are used to access high performance accelerator fabrics (HPAFs) such as NVlink fabrics and CCIX (Cache Coherent Interconnect for Accelerators) fabrics. Platforms including ACHs or accelerators with integrated ACHs support RDMA transfers using RDMA semantics to enable transfers between accelerator memory on initiators and targets without CPU involvement.
