The Linux Foundation forms the Ultra Ethernet Consortium with AMD, Cisco, HPE, Intel, Meta, Microsoft, and others to optimize Ethernet standards for AI and HPC
UEC to deliver on Ethernet-based open, interoperable, high-performance full-communications stack architecture to meet the growing network demands of AI & HPC at scale. Rakesh Chopra : AI/ML will influence all aspects of our lives, and this is creating a seismic shift in our society. — It is not easy for technology to rise to meet this challenge. … Kevin Wollenweber : Rakesh is always spot on. AI with all of its promise will require all of us to continue to innovate around open, efficient technologies. … Mark Hill : As of yesterday there are now three public examples of the software-hardware pathfinding my group contributes to at Microsoft Azure: … Mark Papermaster : Great industry partnership to align on a standard to connect high performance AI and HPC computers with high performance networks! — #ethernet #ai … Twitter: @broadcom : We're proud to support the Ultra Ethernet Consortium, which is bringing together leading companies for industry-wide cooperation to build a complete #Ethernet-based communication stack architecture for high-performance #networking.

Together, we will deliver ethernet-based open, interoperable, high-performance full-communications stack architecture.⚡ Find out more 👉 https://www.linuxfoundation.org/ ... [video] Glenn K. Lockwood / @glennklockwood : After reading the Ultra Ethernet whitepaper ( https://ultraethernet.org/...), it's clear that the goal is to put RoCE in the ground and solve network challenges specifically for AI workloads (e.g., broadcast/incast-heavy). Subtext: break the NVIDIA-Mellanox hegemony. @thoefler : @ultraethernet set out to bring the benefits of proprietary #HPC interconnects back to #datacenter #ethernet! Converegence is now officially starting - read the white paper https://ultraethernet.org/....
