The Ultra Accelerator Link (UALink) Consortium has officially incorporated, which means it's now a legal entity.

The Consortium seeks to create a new standard for high-speed, low-latency communication across servers in AI data centers, and has board members from AMD, Intel, Meta, Hewlett-Packard Enterprise, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Astera Labs, Cisco, Google, and Microsoft. The Consortium is also looking for new contributor members.

Ultra Accelerator Link (UALink) 聯(lián)盟已正式成立，這意味著它現(xiàn)已成為一個(gè)法人實(shí)體。

該聯(lián)盟致力于為人工智能數(shù)據(jù)中心的服務(wù)器之間的高速、低延遲通信創(chuàng)建新標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，董事會(huì)成員來(lái)自 AMD、英特爾、Meta、惠普企業(yè)、亞馬遜網(wǎng)絡(luò)服務(wù) (AWS)、Astera Labs、思科、谷歌和微軟。該聯(lián)盟還在尋找新的貢獻(xiàn)者成員。

UALink seeks to become the industry's open standard for scale-up connections of many AI accelerators, and to become a competitor with Nvidia's proprietary NVLink. NVLink, Nvidia's solution for GPU-to-GPU communication in servers or pods of servers, uses Infiniband — another effectively Nvidia-owned communication technology — for higher-level scaling. Infiniband is being challenged by newcomer Ultra Ethernet, which is another major consortium of tech giants creating an open standard to counter Nvidia's dominance.
UALink致力于成為眾多 AI 加速器擴(kuò)展連接的行業(yè)開(kāi)放標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，并成為 Nvidia 專有 NVLink 的競(jìng)爭(zhēng)對(duì)手。

NVLink是 Nvidia 針對(duì)服務(wù)器或服務(wù)器 Pod 中 GPU 到 GPU 通信的解決方案，它使用 Infiniband（另一種 Nvidia 擁有的有效通信技術(shù)）來(lái)實(shí)現(xiàn)更高級(jí)別的擴(kuò)展。

Infiniband 正受到新來(lái)者Ultra Ethernet的挑戰(zhàn)，后者是另一個(gè)由科技巨頭組成的主要聯(lián)盟，創(chuàng)建了一個(gè)開(kāi)放標(biāo)準(zhǔn)來(lái)對(duì)抗 Nvidia 的主導(dǎo)地位。

Willie Nelson, president of the UALink Consortium, is also opening the doors for new companies and groups to join the party. "Interested companies are encouraged to join as Contributor members to support our mission: establishing an open and high-performance accelerator interconnect for AI workloads."
UALink 聯(lián)盟主席 Willie Nelson 也為新公司和團(tuán)體的加入敞開(kāi)了大門。

“我們鼓勵(lì)感興趣的公司作為貢獻(xiàn)者成員加入，以支持我們的使命：為人工智能工作負(fù)載建立開(kāi)放的高性能加速器互連?！?/p>
