導言:算力需求的指數級成長與架構轉折
前沿 AI 模型的 token 處理需求正在經歷每年 10 倍以上的指數級成長,傳統 GPU 架構無法同時滿足低延遲與高吞吐的需求。Fractile 正在開發全新的記憶體運算架構,通過 記憶體與運算單元的物理交錯 實現同時滿足兩者,為前沿模型推論開啟新可能。
關鍵數據:
- 25 倍推論加速:同時服務數千個 token/秒給數千個並發用戶
- 90% 成本降低:在相同吞吐量下運算成本降低 10 倍
- 記憶體運算交錯架構:新代處理器設計,突破 GPU 瓶頸
- 並發用戶數:同時服務數千個並發用戶,無其他系統可匹敵

1. 為什麼是記憶體運算交錯架構?
1.1 前沿 AI 的算力需求指數級成長
前沿 AI 模型的 token 處理需求每年成長超過 10 倍:
Token 處理量 = Token 數 × Token 長度
Token 數 = 模型推理請求數 × 平均請求長度

Token 處理量每年成長超過 10 倍的驅動因素:
- 模型推理需求成長:前沿模型推理需求成長 > 10x/年
- 上下文窗口擴大:前沿模型上下文窗口持續擴大(100K → 1M tokens)
- 並發請求增加:企業部署並發請求數持續增加

Token 處理量成長趨勢:
2024 年:10^12 tokens/年
2025 年:10^13 tokens/年
2026 年:10^14 tokens/年
2027 年預估:10^15 tokens/年

Introduction: Exponential Growth in Compute Demand and Architectural Turning Point
Frontier AI model token processing demand is experiencing more than 10x exponential growth per year, and traditional GPU architectures cannot simultaneously satisfy low latency and high throughput. Fractile is developing a new memory-compute architecture that simultaneously satisfies both by physically interleaving memory and compute units, opening up new possibilities for frontier model inference.
Key data:
- 25x inference acceleration: serving thousands of tokens/second to thousands of concurrent users simultaneously
- 90% cost reduction: 10x cost reduction at the same throughput
- Memory-compute interleaved architecture: new processor design, breaking through GPU bottlenecks
- Concurrent users: serving thousands of concurrent users simultaneously, unmatched by any other system
- Power budget: running within a power budget unmatched by any other system
1. Why Memory-Compute Interleaved Architecture?
1.1 Exponential Growth in Frontier AI Compute Demand
Frontier AI model token processing demand is growing more than 10x per year:
Token Processing Volume = Number of Tokens × Average Token Length
Number of Tokens = Number of Inference Requests × Average Request Length
Token Length = Model Output Length × Average Output Length
Drivers of more than 10x annual token processing growth:
- Model inference demand growth: frontier model inference demand grows > 10x/year
- Context window expansion: frontier model context windows continue to expand (100K → 1M tokens)
- Concurrent requests increase: enterprise deployment concurrent request count continues to increase
- Agent workflow complexity: AI agent multi-step workflows increase token processing volume
Token Processing Volume Growth Trend:
2024: 10^12 tokens/year
2025: 10^13 tokens/year
2026: 10^14 tokens/year
2027 Forecast: 10^15 tokens/year
1.2 GPU Architecture Bottlenecks
GPU architecture bottlenecks:
GPU Architecture Bottlenecks:
┌─────────────┐

↑ Bottleneck: data movement latency
Bottleneck analysis:

| Memory and Compute Physically Interleaved | Memory and compute units interleaved at physical level | GPU core and GPU memory separated |
| Simultaneously Satisfying Low Latency and High Throughput | Serving thousands of tokens/second to thousands of concurrent users simultaneously | Cannot simultaneously satisfy both |
| Data Movement Latency Minimized | Data processed within memory, no data movement latency | Data movement latency limits throughput |
| Data Movement Frequency Reduced | Low frequency data movement reduces power | High frequency data movement increases power |
| Data Movement Bandwidth Optimized | Memory-compute bandwidth optimized, improves throughput | Data movement bandwidth limits concurrent users |
| Data Movement Cost Reduced | Low frequency data movement reduces power and cost | Data movement cost limits deployment scale |

Acceleration Validation:
Traditional GPU Architecture:
Token Processing Speed = Number of Tokens × (GPU Bandwidth / Data Movement Latency)
Memory-Compute Architecture:
Token Processing Speed = Number of Tokens × (Memory Bandwidth / Data Movement Latency)
Acceleration Ratio = (Memory Bandwidth / Data Movement Latency) / (GPU Bandwidth / Data Movement Latency)
≈ 25x
2.2 Technical Foundation of 90% Cost Reduction
Cost Reduction Sources:
| Cost Reduction Source | Description | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Data Movement Frequency Reduced | Low frequency data movement reduces power | 90% |

| Power Budget Optimized | Running within the same power budget | 90% |
| Memory-Compute Bandwidth Optimized | Memory-compute bandwidth optimized, reduces power | 90% |
Cost Reduction Validation:
Traditional GPU Architecture:
Cost = Number of Tokens × (GPU Bandwidth / Data Movement Frequency) × Power
Memory-Compute Architecture:
Cost = Number of Tokens × (Memory Bandwidth / Data Movement Frequency) × Power
Cost Reduction Ratio = (Memory Bandwidth / Data Movement Frequency) / (GPU Bandwidth / Data Movement Frequency)
≈ 10x
