Marvell Demonstrates AI SSD Controller Architecture Solution

Marvell demonstrated at the Flash Memory Summit how it will provide artificial intelligence capabilities to a broad range of industries by incorporating NVIDIA's Deep Learning Accelerator (NVDLA) technology in its family of data center and client SSD controllers.Marvell's AI SSD controller proof-of-concept architecture solution will highlight how machine learning can help applications accelerate with minimal network bandwidth and no host CPU processing, delivering a significant reduction in overall total cost of ownership. The architecture is anticipated to enable a new era of storage SSD solutions in areas such as cloud and edge data centers, automotive, industrial, communications networking, environmental monitoring, banking and client, among others.Big data analytics systems require enormous amounts of information to be processed to gain important insights. Metadata tagging is required for this processing to run efficiently and effectively. Storage solutions must become more intelligent to enable the generation of this metadata at the storage end points to help optimize overall efficiencies while increasing user experiences and business productivities.By adding NVDLA to its SSD controllers, Marvell is bringing deep learning inference to forms of SSDs, improving efficiency, reducing power consumption, maximizing scalability and optimizing distribution of resources. Even large-scale datasets can be fully supported, while still reducing hardware investment and operational expenditure. The scalability of this solution will also allow enterprises and cloud service providers to add more offerings and capabilities to their product portfolios leveraging AI technologies. This programmable architecture will enable AI models to be quickly updated, so that new use cases can be addressed as they emerge."As greater and greater amounts of data get generated at edge and end points, it is critical new end-to-end architecture solutions are developed to increase overall productivity while addressing the pain points of application response time and total cost of delivery," said Nigel Alvares, VP of SSD and Data Center Storage Products, Marvell."Our AI SSD controller proof-of-concept architecture solution leveraging NVIDIA's NVDLA technology offers our customers and ecosystem partners a framework to collaborate and develop the next generation of SSD and client-to-cloud infrastructure architecture solutions needed to enable and deliver tomorrow's applications.""It is access to data that will fuel big data analytics," added Noam Mizrahi, VP of Technology and Architecture at Marvell. "Systems will need to be able to analyze large quantities of data - of different types and from different locations. The proper generation of metadata to represent all of this data will be key to efficient processing. AI technology running right at the storage device may be used to effectively generate this metadata, preparing it for further analytics by higher processing layers. Our advanced AI SSD controller proof of concept solution sets a new paradigm in utilizing available system resources more efficiently, resulting in the scalable, cost-effective data storage expected for all kinds of machine learning tasks.""NVIDIA and Marvell share the goals of making AI more accessible and creating exciting new AI-based solutions," said Deepu Talla, vice president and general manager of Autonomous Machines at NVIDIA.

Analysts Applaud <span style='color:red'>Marvell</span>-Cavium Deal

Analysts Applaud Marvell-Cavium Deal

　　Marvell will get an infusion of growth and Cavium may see a path to profitability from their proposed $6 billion merger. However, the more diversified chip maker that will result from the merger still faces relatively modest prospects for growth in revenues and profits, said analysts who applauded the deal.　　Marvell estimated the two companies will have a total $3.4 billion in annual revenues growing at an average of 6 to 8 percent a year. That’s only slightly ahead of past projections for Marvell and the long-term average for the semiconductor industry overall.　　The two companies have relatively minor overlap in products and customers. Executives said they have no plans for cutting products, but they do see savings in the first 18 months of up to $170 million from shared R&D and offices and reduced overhead.　　Cavium brings nearly a billion-dollars a year in sales of a wide range of networking and comms chips and boards. Marvell’s products mainly consist of hard-disk and solid-state controllers, Ethernet switches and Wi-Fi and Bluetooth chips.　　The two companies occupy a “middle ground below Broadcom, Intel and Qualcomm, but they are not small enough to be easily acquired,” said Linley Gwennap, principal of the Linley Group. He called the deal “overall positive,” noting both companies have embraced ARM cores, making it easier to merge and manage products lines.　　Marvell ranks 33rd among top semiconductor makers with $2.4 billion in revenue, according to IC Insights. The two are a good fit, said Rob Lineback, senior analyst for the company, but he noted Cavium, focusing on fast growth, has “posted five years of annual net losses and is headed for a sixth straight net loss in 2017.”　　The deal “creates cost-efficient scale and complementary product offerings that may boost future revenue growth potential,” Ross Seymore, analyst with Deutsche Bank, wrote in a research note. The 11-20 percent premium Marvell offered for Cavium “is a somewhat surprisingly attractive price” compared to typical semiconductor acquisitions paying 25-30 percent premiums, he added.　　The deal comes at a time when Marvell’s Prestera line of Ethernet switches has “turned the corner and returned to growth” as second only to Broadcom, said Bob Wheeler, comms analyst at the Linley Group. He speculated a future Cavium XPliant switch could appear on the Prestera road map as its first programmable part.　　For its part, Cavium has been running a distant third to Intel and NXP in embedded comms processors with its Octeon line, its strongest product. The future of Cavium’s ThunderX ARM server SoC is less clear under a cost-conscious Marvell, he added.　　Cavium helps Marvell diversify beyond controllers and read channels for hard drives which make up the largest chunk of its business. The hard drive market will have a long tail with profits and growth crowded into the high-capacity segment for data center drives, said Tom Coughlin, veteran storage analyst with Coughlin Associates.　　“Although hard drive units are declining, overall capacity shipped continues to rise…Tape drives are still around though people claimed for years they were dead, and now hard drives are likely moving into a similar position,” he said.　　Marvell only recently competed an 18-month reorganization that shed nearly 40 percent of its employees, including its former chief executive Sehat Sutardja and president Weili Dai, his wife. The co-founders resigned amid investigations of accounting practices after revenues and profits fell from $3.6 billion and $435 million in 2015, respectively, to $2.6 billion with an $811 million loss a year later.　　Last year, the company reported revenues of $2.3 billion and a $21 million profit. It essentially replaced its entire board and top tier management, naming Matthew Murphy, a senior executive from Maxim Integrated, its chief executive in June 2016. Murphy has hired a half-dozen execs, including in May Neil Kim, the former head of central engineering at Broadcom, who became Marvell’s CTO.　　For its part, Cavium has seen revenue growth well above the industry average, but has yet to break into the black. Revenues rose from $235 million 2012 to $603 million last year when it lost $146 million.　　In the first nine months of this year, Cavium’s revenues rose another 40 percent, in part thanks to its $1 billion acquisition of QLogic in 2016. However. Cavium has not trimmed loses at the same rate as its growth.　　Murphy said he first met Cavium co-founder and CEO Syed Ali a decade ago. The two have been discussing the possibility of a merger since he joined Marvell, Murphy said in a conference call.　　Together the two companies will have about 10 percent of their revenues in the fast-growing data center market and hold more than 10,000 patents. The deal will reduce the amount of revenues coming from hard-disk chips from 35 to 25 percent, Murphy said.　　“I think we will still have higher R&D as a percentage of sales of any peer…and given we have almost no product overlap we expect no significant regulatory challenges,” Murphy said.　　Murphy was clear the deal is an acquisition in which he remains in control as CEO but shares power with Ali and at least one other Cavium executive who will sit on the new company's board. "We won't be called Marvellium or Carvell," he quipped.

Marvell Buying Cavium for $6 Billion

　　Marvell Technology Group agreed to buy rival chip vendor Cavium for $6 billion in cash and stock in the semiconductor industry's latest blockbuster deal.　　The deal, announced Monday (Nov. 20), would remake Marvell (Santa Clara, Calif.), bring its addressable market to more than $16 billion by bringing together its HDD and SSD storage controllers, networking and wireless connectivity semiconductor together with San Jose-based Cavium's multi-core processing, networking communications, storage connectivity and security chips, Marvell said. The combined entity will have annual revenue of about $3.4 billion.　　News of a possible deal between the firms was first reported earlier this month by the Wall Street Journal and other media outlets.　　The deal to acquire Cavium would give Marvell a fresh start after an accounting scandal that last year resulted in the resignations of Marvell's founders, CEO Sehat Sutardja and President Weili Dai.　　"This is an exciting combination of two very complementary companies that together equal more than the sum of their parts," said Matt Murphy, who took over as Marvell president and CEO last year, in a press statement.　　"Together, we all will be able to deliver immediate and long-term value to our customers, employees and shareholders," Murphy added.　　Under the terms of the deal, Marvell will pay $40 per share in cash and 2.1757 Marvell common shares for each Cavium share. The deal is expected to close in mid-2018, Marvell said.

Marvell's New CTO Wants 'Culture of Innovation'

　　Neil Kim is just what the doctor ordered for Marvell — a booster shot of positive, practical engineering energy for a company about halfway through a major surgical makeover. The former head of Broadcom’s central engineering group spent an hour with EE Times sharing his views at the end of his first week on the job as Marvell’s new chief technologist.　　It’s been a wild ride at Marvell, and it’s not over yet. A year ago, Marvell founders — chief executive Sehat Sutardja and president Weili Dai, his wife — resigned as the company’s finances tumbled amid investigations of accounting practices. Revenues and profits had fallen from $3.6 billion and $435 million in 2015, respectively, to $2.6 billion with an $811 million loss a year later.　　Since then, the company has essentially replaced its entire board and top tier of management. Last May, Rick Hill, former chief executive of Novellus Systems, became Marvell’s chairman. In June, Matthew Murphy, a senior executive from Maxim Integrated, was named chief executive. In less than a year, Murphy has hired a half-dozen execs under him, with Kim being the most recent, and the third to come from rival Broadcom.　　The financial freefall stabilized in Marvell’s last fiscal year to revenues of $2.3 billion and a $21 million profit. The company has 4,600 employees, down nearly 40% from its peak of 7,300 in 2014. Current management estimates that another 900 will leave, and it has earmarked an undisclosed number of products it aims to cancel or sell off.　　Murphy has indicated that he aims to complete the restructuring by October. Even when he is done, Marvell still faces a number of strategic challenges.　　While it has been focused on rebuilding itself, the semiconductor industry around it has gone through a historic consolidation. Marvell’s top competitors in embedded processors, Ethernet, and Wi-Fi have beefed up for the next rounds of battle amid slowing market growth. Broadcom merged with Avago, and Qualcomm is set to gobble up NXP, enabling new levels of chip integration, savings, and economies of scale.　　About half of Marvell’s current business is in a sunset sector — controllers for hard disk drives. It’s a business that depends on a few big customers.　　Marvell’s second largest customer after Western Digital — Toshiba’s electronics group — is now up for sale. Its third biggest customer, WinTech, is a relatively small memory module maker.　　Former CEO Sutardja was himself an engineer at heart. He was known for getting deeply involved in projects such as MoChi, a silicon interconnect that he described in a 2015 ISSCC keynote, one of his last major public talks.　　Neil Kim spent the last 15 years of his career building and overseeing Broadcom’s central engineering group. It was known for being a disciplined practitioner of silicon design and reuse, a skill that the company relied on repeatedly as it grew by acquisition.　　Kim retired from Broadcom last year just before Avago closed the deal to buy the company in one of the largest of many recent large mergers. We spoke to Kim after his first week at Marvell’s Silicon Valley headquarters.
