UEC is tackling the challenges of Ethernet networking at scale with industry giants like AMD, Meta, Microsoft, and NVIDIA. 🌐⚡ Check out UEC Chair J Metz's interview (Part 1) on how we’re evolving Ethernet for #HPC & #AI! The Next Platform Timothy Prickett Morgan

One of my favorite tech writers, Timothy Prickett Morgan and I sat down to talk about Ultra Ethernet Consortium. Here is part 2. #Ethernet #AI #HPC https://lnkd.in/gm3Y-TJb

Ethernet is prevailing again…this time heading to be the dominant network technology for #Generative #AI centers! While #Infiniband surely played a pivotal role in the early Generative AI boom, #Ethernet is not only making strides in bridging its own shortcomings (such as lossless transport) but is starting to show advantages in overall clusters’ performance as well. This should be good news for AI center builders and weavers as #open and evolved Ethernet based networks will drive AI cluster components costs down, drive operation costs down (single tech vs. multiple techs), help avoid vendor lock-in, and surely help continue to tap on the same network expertise. Having said that, the Ultra Ethernet Consortium (https://ultraethernet.org/), UEC, driving this evolution, has an immense responsibility in maintaining openness, providing compatibility across stack layers, minimizing stack changes, and of course maintaining interoperability. All vital for reaping the advantages of Ethernet at AI Centers. I think today we are at the stage where the general advice should be “build your AI center with Ethernet unless you have a specific need to do that with Infiniband”. What do you think?   Will leave you with this example from Meta's Open Compute Project Summit 2024 that might help make the point behind this post. https://lnkd.in/dA2Pj7fK

SNIA will be sponsoring the Open Standards Pavilion, booth #1815, at SC Conference Series (#SC24), featuring five SNIA Technology Groups: #CMSI featuring Computational Storage and Persistent Memory, #SMI, #SFF TA, and SNIA SCSI Trade Association Forum (STA), and six SNIA Alliance Partners: DMTF, Fibre Channel Industry Association (FCIA), OpenFabrics Alliance, Universal Chiplet Interconnect Express (UCIe), Ultra Accelerator Link Consortium, and Ultra Ethernet Consortium.  SNIA will also be partnering with Intel Corporation in the Innovation Pass activity. Attendees earn points for prizes when scanning QR codes from Intel-based demos – including the #SNIASwordfish Demonstration and the SNIA Persistent Memory Hackathon.
