Coordinating Compute Offload, Model Data Paths and Development Resources
AI and high-performance computing platforms face growing application workloads, model-weight movement, compression, encryption and storage-reliability demands. Specialized on-chip acceleration must work effectively with system software and data-processing workflows.
Foresemi provides cryptographic and compression offload, AI weight compression and protection, and data-reliability IP for servers, AI CPUs, accelerators and storage-related chips, supporting coordinated chip and system design.

Model-Weight Compression & Protection
Compute & Data Coordination
AI accelerators, memory expanders and high-speed storage increase data exchange across chips and devices. Higher bandwidth makes security overhead, latency and interoperability important architecture-level decisions. PCIe and CXL IDE are examples of link-layer mechanisms for confidentiality, integrity and replay protection; their adoption depends on protocol versions, topology and device support.
Model weights and runtime data in DDR face different exposure risks from persistent data on NVMe SSDs. DDR access involves off-chip visibility, bandwidth budgets and loading latency; persistent storage also requires host authorization, media encryption and key-lifecycle management. NVMe self-encrypting storage and the host/storage authentication and authorization addressed by IEEE 1667 operate at different layers. Link encryption cannot replace either.
Interception or tampering on a link, unauthorized reading of storage media and transmission errors are distinct problems. Evaluate link protection, key management and ECC separately, selecting implementations against bandwidth, latency and host-compute budgets. For highly concurrent workloads, cryptographic and compression offload also affects the CPU resources available to applications.
AI coding assistants can accelerate development, but generated code may contain defects, use vulnerable dependencies or resemble license-restricted third-party code. Review and statically analyze code before integration, check dependencies and licenses with software composition analysis, and retain SBOMs for released versions. Management and protocol interfaces also need malformed-input and boundary-condition testing.
CryptACC® offloads encryption, decryption, compression and decompression from Arm and RISC-V servers and AI CPUs, supporting TLS and other secure-communication and data-processing workloads while preserving CPU resources for applications.
CryptICE™ coordinates weight compression, decompression, encryption and decryption between the DDR controller and on-chip compute units, reducing transfer volume while protecting off-chip model assets.
DH-ECC provides ECC error correction and CRC checking across different data widths and correction requirements, supporting data-path protection in computing and storage platforms.
CryptHSM® provides secure boot, key management and cryptographic services. DesignHub™ cryptographic IP covers international, Chinese and post-quantum algorithms for platform authentication and data protection.
Share your computing platform, cryptographic and compression workloads, model-weight and data-bandwidth requirements. We will arrange a technical discussion.
