As AI technologies rapidly spread across industries, data has evolved from a simple resource into a critical driver that determines AI performance and real-time decision-making capabilities.

In fields such as manufacturing, medical diagnostics, and inspection systems—where ultra-high-speed and high-precision data are the norm—a constant and fast flow of data is a prerequisite for AI to function effectively.

However, traditional data processing architectures have relied heavily on single-PC or GPU-centric systems.

Such centralized systems struggle to keep pace with the explosive growth of data and the increasing demand for real-time responsiveness, often resulting in latency, bottlenecks, and system overloads.

Ultimately, the data infrastructure required in the AI era must move away from the concept of “a single machine” and toward “a distributed structure where multiple systems operate in parallel.”

To support this shift, AVALDATA introduces the GiGA CHANNEL and GiGA CONNECTION series—optical communication boards designed to enable high-speed, reliable distributed computing systems.

Beyond the Limitations of a Single PC: Distributed Processing Architecture

Traditionally, high-performance GPUs or CPUs have been used to concentrate data processing on a single PC.

However, as data volumes surge and real-time processing requirements intensify, this centralized approach increasingly leads to bottlenecks.

The GiGA series fundamentally addresses these limitations.

Leveraging high-speed serial communication over 100 Gbps optical links, GiGA boards distribute data across multiple PCs for parallel processing.

Each board is equipped with its own onboard memory, enabling stable data sharing and allowing up to 128 PCs to be interconnected.

In short, it’s a solution that redefines how data flows.

GiGA Boards Are Not Just Network Interface Cards

Unlike conventional network interface boards that simply transmit data, the GiGA series plays a central role in redesigning data flow and processing architectures through hardware-based optical communication.

  • Proprietary hardware-level protocol: Processes communication directly at the hardware level, bypassing software stacks → minimizes CPU load and latency
  • Bidirectional optical communication: Enables simultaneous real-time processing and data acquisition
  • Deterministic fixed latency: Essential for applications like automation and robotic control
  • Compatible with various operating systems: Windows, Linux, VxWorks, and more
  • Highly customizable and embeddable: Easily integrated into specialized systems

The Backbone of AI and High-Speed Vision Systems: GiGA Boards

No matter how advanced an AI model may be, it’s only as good as the data it receives—on time.

In machine vision, robotic vision, and ultra-high-speed inspection systems, data transmission delays are often more critical than processing speed itself.

The GiGA board is optimized for these demanding environments:

  • Distributes data from high-speed cameras to multiple processing nodes
  • Each node performs parallel computation (e.g., using GPUs) and aggregates the results
  • Supports real-time control of robotic motion and I/O signals

In essence, GiGA goes beyond the limits of a single GPU system to become “a platform that allows data to be processed as if by multiple brains working in parallel.”

Proven Reliability Across Industries

The GiGA board has already been deployed in the following industrial environments:

  • Semiconductor inspection equipment
  • Large-area display panel testing systems
  • Medical CT and 3D image processing platforms
  • Smart factories with robotic integration
  • Automation lines using multiple synchronized sensors

In these settings, the GiGA board architecture has delivered measurable results:

2–4x improvement in processing efficiency, significant reduction in Takt Time, and greater flexibility in system configuration.

A First Step Toward Future-Proof System Architecture

Data volumes will only continue to grow, while the time available to process them will shrink.

In this new era, the priority is not simply high performance—but flexible, parallel architectures that scale.

The GiGA series is a ready-to-deploy platform that enables precisely this kind of system.
