Rethinking How XPUs Connect At Scale

Rethinking How XPUs Connect At Scale

Plaid is building a modular scale-up fabric that integrates XPUs more tightly within a system

The Problem

Systems Aren’t Scaling with Compute

Systems Aren’t Scaling with Compute

AI compute is growing rapidly, but system architecture hasn’t kept up.
XPUs are connected across boards, cables, and switches, adding latency, power loss, and complexity.

The Solution

Rack-Scale Integration in a Single Package

Rack-Scale Integration in a Single Package

Plaid integrates large-scale XPU systems within a single package using a modular scale-up fabric, reducing distance inside the system.

Impact

System-Level efficiency Gains

System-Level efficiency Gains

0X

Lower Latency

Shorter interconnect distances enable faster communication between XPUs.

0%

Lower System Power

Less data movement saves up to 40% of total power for a multi-XPU system.

0%

Lower System Cost

Fewer components and simpler architecture reduce up to 50% of overall system cost.
