Ultra Ethernet: Addressing AI/HPC Interconnect Challenges Beyond the InfiniBand Monopoly (denog17)

Chaos Computer Club - recent audio-only feed

For years, InfiniBand has dominated high-performance interconnects. Yet for strategic and technical reasons, there has been a huge industry ask to develop a new next-generation protocol for use in AI and HPC environments. This session introduces Ultra Ethernet, an innovative standard designed to tackle the limitations seen in RDMA around scalability, latency and congestion management, crucial for democratizing future AI/HPC build outs. Join us for a comprehensive exploration of the technologies poised to redefine Storage or GPU interconnectivity and challenge the status quo. We also discuss the future of the UEC and how collaboration among standards organizations will benefit the industry.
