Pipeline Fusion Engine
A system that eliminates GPU-CPU data transfer overhead by retaining intermediate results in GPU storage buffers between consecutive operations, fusing multi-step pipelines into a single dispatch sequence.
How it works
In a naive GPU pipeline, each operation reads input from CPU memory, processes it on the GPU, and writes results back to CPU memory before the next operation begins. This round-trip transfer is often the dominant bottleneck, not the computation itself. A pipeline fusion engine eliminates this overhead by chaining operations so that the output buffer of one operation becomes the input buffer of the next without ever leaving GPU memory. For example, a filter-then-sort-then-aggregate pipeline executes as three consecutive GPU dispatches sharing the same storage buffers, with only the final aggregated result transferred back to the CPU. Ayoob AI applies pipeline fusion in its compliance evaluation system, where chained operations like data mapping, risk scoring, DPIA generation, and SAR fulfilment execute as a single fused pipeline.
