| contents | ML and HPC applications increasingly combine dense and sparse memory access computations to maximize storage efficiency. However, existing CPUs and GPUs struggle to flexibly handle these heterogeneous workloads with consistently high compute efficiency. We present Occamy, a 432-Core, 768-DP-GFLOP/s, dual-HBM2E, dual-chiplet RISC-V system with a latency-tolerant hierarchical interconnect and in-core streaming units (SUs) designed to accelerate dense and sparse FP8-to-FP64 ML and HPC workloads. We implement Occamy's compute chiplets in 12 nm FinFET, and its passive interposer, Hedwig, in a 65 nm node. On dense linear algebra (LA), Occamy achieves a competitive FPU utilization of 89%. On stencil codes, Occamy reaches an FPU utilization of 83% and a technology-node-normalized compute density of 11.1 DP-GFLOP/s/mm2,leading state-of-the-art (SoA) processors by 1.7x and 1.2x, respectively. On sparse-dense linear algebra (LA), it achieves 42% FPU utilization and a normalized compute density of 5.95 DP-GFLOP/s/mm2, surpassing the SoA by 5.2x and 11x, respectively. On, sparse-sparse LA, Occamy reaches a throughput of up to 187 GCOMP/s at 17.4 GCOMP/s/W and a compute density of 3.63 GCOMP/s/mm2. Finally, we reach up to 75% and 54% FPU utilization on and dense (LLM) and graph-sparse (GCN) ML inference workloads. Occamy's RTL is freely available under a permissive open-source license. |
