This demo will showcase how Innodisk’s AccelBrain AI software stack powers on‑premise, private large language model (LLM) deployment and then extends those capabilities to the edge. We’ll show how AccelBrain seamlessly integrates with our APEX-E100 and APEX-P200 platforms, enabling efficient, secure, and real‑time AI processing at the edge—without relying on the cloud.

Scaling AI accelerators only happens with extreme density and high-speed performance interconnects. Samtec’s Si-Fly® HD co-packaged interconnect systems provide the highest density 224 Gbps PAM4 solution in today's market. Electrically pluggable co-packaged copper and optics solutions (known as CPX) adjacent to AI accelerators are achievable on a 95 mm x 95 mm or smaller substrates. This proximity eliminates long PCB traces, greatly reducing loss while preserving serviceability in a pluggable form factor.

 

In the Demo Stage presentation, Samtec technical experts will summarize real-world performance data of CPX implementations in various 224 Gbps PAM4 signal channels typically found in AI acceleration platforms. Additionally, an preview of AI scale-up and scale-out networks using CPX technologies will also be presented.
