GROVF

At the end of 2021, when we released GROVF’s low latency RDMA RoCE V2 FPGA IP Core for Smart NICs, we aimed to address several use cases like storage clustering and disaggregation offload, HPC application offload, algorithmic trading, database memory pooling, and more. Although high-performance computing (HPC) was traditionally reserved for large organizations with the resources to construct these powerful computers, its ability to analyze massive amounts of unstructured data and derive meaningful business insights has made it appealing to a wide range of industries.

GROVF team is extremely excited to announce that have released a low latency RDMA RoCE V2 FPGA IP Core for Smart NICs. This new IP core will democratize the RNIC market and enable FPGA-based smart NIC producers as well as system integrators to develop and deploy RNIC use-cases.

Today we summed up the High-Performance Computing vol. 2 course at GROVF. For more than a month, tens of students had a chance to expand their skills and High-performance computing knowledge in the field. The tutor of the program was one of our top engineers who took part of the previous course and managed to have exponential growth to lead the second one. After the successful completion of the final task, 1-2 of students will join GROVF and become an essential addition to our team.

With the aim of improving cooperation between Japan and Armenian tech companies, JICA released a video touching on various Armenian startups and discovering their company culture. Having based our R&D office in Yerevan, we were glad to be part of this project and share our expertise about operating in Armenia. In the coverage, our Business Development Manager talks about our system-level designs, new technologies, partnerships and more.

We have great news for IT/engineering students Grovf is starting the High-Performance Computing course vol. 2. It was about a year ago when kicked off the first course with tens of students and eventually hired 2 junior engineers who had demonstrated the higher results as a result of an intensive learning program. In order to enrich the engineering expertise among young engineers, we decided to organize the second course and build foundations for the development of high-performance computing.

Empowering network security measures at a hardware level has always been one of the key directions for GROVF. Given how quickly new threats and assaults evolve, Big Data performance and newer methods to network traffic management have been becoming highly essential. Grovf provides hardware acceleration and an easy approach to employ powerful FPGA devices for a wide range of security. applications.

Grovf extends its IP portfolio in the industry of Cybersecurity (including 100G #regexp core for #DPI and DDoS prevention). We introduce you Grovf Probabilistic search engine with tens of thousand rules supported at 100G network speed. The approach leads to TCO saving, minimizes the loss and network latency 100x.

GROVF is featured on the Xilinx website as an Alliance Member and Application Partner, this time with our MongoDB Acceleration based on MonetX that addresses the challenges of memories and off-chip interconnects. Thanks to its flexible and cost-effective architecture, this memory scaling technology is expected to be an attractive solution for corporate Big Data management. MonetX combines CCIX specifications with a proprietary fast network protocol allowing to expand the memory by tens of TBs per server while successfully accelerating in-memory computing workloads at exceptionally low latencies.

This time HPCA 2020 in San Diego, CA. Grovf takes part in the 26th International Symposium on High-Performance Computer Architecture.

At XDF China 2019 we presented about Grovf MonetX & database acceleration. Grovf CTO showed how we reach 3.5X acceleration for all stages of data aggregation.

Grovf participates in XDF 2019 in Beijing, China. We will deliver a presentation on MongoDB acceleration (3X), based on Grovf MonetX innovative platform.

As a part of Xilinx stand, we showcased Grovf IIoT acceleration on Xilinx Alveo Cards & the roadmap to the acceleration of MongoDB object-oriented data management.

As one of 15 finalist startups at WCIT 2019 lightning rounds, Grovf presents our revolutionary approach to Big Data Analytics acceleration to the international audience.

Grovf has been featured as one of the partners extending the Xilinx ecosystem during XDF 2019 in San Jose.

Grovf Inc. will engage in a strategic business relationship with Xilnx Inc. & provide proven products to our mutual customers in various markets around the world.

At Grovf we finalized the 2-month intensive course on the topics of CPU-FPGA pairs, LUT, Pipelining, Logical schemes, Heterogeneous Architecture/SYSTEMS, C++, Verilog, Linux and OpenCL.

The first stage of a fruitful collaboration with the European Commission is completed. The project allowed us to do research and implement the most creative ideas for Horizon 2020 research and innovation program funding.

With 2018 coming to a close, we want to take a moment to thank our clients and partners for being with us and wish a great 2019!

Grovf finalized the pre-seed round lead by SmartGate VC. & Granatus Ventures. We will use the funds for tech hiring & engaging US first early adopters.

GROVF participates in XDF 2018, held in Frankfurt, Germany. In the scope of an event, we shared experience with Xilinx representatives and discussed GROVF revolutionary approach of JVM acceleration.

The Secretary-General of the ITU, Houlin Zhao, visited the Engineering City and Grovf alike. He highly appreciated Grovf innovative approach of analyzing data and wished continued success with our startup.

Under the motto “Innovation Kitchen Europe '', Grovf did various pitches presenting GROVF NoSQL database acceleration based on FPGA and expanded our high-tech network.

Grovf CTO presented how the Heterogeneous Systems with the CPU-FPGA pairs can overcome the challenges that traditional computing systems face for today and for the future.

Grovf is the first participant from Armenia and the whole Caucasus, winning the Horizon 2020 grant of the EU Research and Innovation program, SME Instrument.

At Hannover Messe, Grovf had an opportunity to deliver a pitch and present our hardware-accelerated database technology to companies like Xilinx, Siemens, Airbus, etc.

We were happy to share some insights into the Armenian Public Radio about IoT, IIoT and the need for hardware acceleration for databases in the IoT era.

Grovf participated in NIDays Asia. We presented Grovf hardware accelerated database server and attracted a lot of interest from big IT infrastructure system integrators.
