Just seven quarters ago, @bayasystems was no more than a gleam in the eyes of @jimkxa and me – a mission to tackle computing’s most central challenges: efficient data movement. Today, I am humbled to announce the successful close of 36+M Series B, led by Maverick, with

Silicon Valley is going back to its roots. Over the next decade, huge value will be created in silicon. Those who lead in silicon design and manufacturing will win big. Pendulum has swung again. These cyclical trends last over decade(s). PS - this is not April fools joke.

We are already in the era of multi PB/s bi-section fabric bandwidth within package. If you are playing the high performance computing or AI silicon game and not currently designing your chiplets and interconnects for these levels, you have already lost.

One of the most exciting days of my career. @bayasystems exiting stealth and launching at DAC. Thanks to BoD @jimkxa and @stanreiss, and @intel and @PGelsinger for support and investment, and numerous customers and partners. My blog on Baya's inception:

Congestion Control (CC) is crucial for optimal (not over designed) fabrics. Even more so in larger faster systems. Most CC designs look dumb, weak or a mess. We are advancing the state of the art in CC. DM me all congestion control and fabric geeks if interested in a deep dive on

Less is more. Less code, less gate, less opcode, less feature. True in software, hardware, protocol, design, engineering. It's not just desirable, it's a survival strategy.

Also a firm believer that @intel's future is brighter with @PGelsinger. @jimkxa had similar plans to fix @intel but now water under the bridge. Fortunate to have experienced both legends. Another wishful thinking: Pat + Jim >>> Pat, Jim.

Embracing change, @intel is on a voyage to a brighter future. Kudos to @PGelsinger for steering the ship. @jimkxa was pursuing this and more 6 years ago, now wishful thinking. But as they say, better late than never! Future’s bright, @intel’s ready! 😎

100% agree on the need of an truly open fabric protocol. Most current standards (open or closed) are driven by special interests of large corporations. Internet revolution started after IP/Ethernet arrived as a true open standard. Computing and semiconductors need the same.

ARM -> RISC-V exodus does not impact AMBA adoption including by RISC-V.

BTW @RajaXg built the Ponte Vecchio GPU at @intel which was ahead of even Blackwell in many technological aspects. Hope Intel keeps advancing on that platform.

Jerome Powell: Jensen and Taylor are the top two drivers of inflation now. Higher rates for longer. Jensen Huang: The more (chips) you buy the more you save. Taylor Swift: You did a number on me, but honestly, baby, who's counting?

Very interesting poll. @Arm original coherence protocol was #AMBA ACE that had deadlocks and scaling and perf issues. CHI is great but look similar to @intel. Perhaps a great knockoff if it is indeed. Will be interesting to hear others opinions.

Is @ARM cache coherence protocol an @intel ’s knockoff?
