Alphawave Semi Joins UALink™ Consortium to Accelerate High-Speed AI Connections
December 04 2024 - 3:00AM
Business Wire
Alphawave Semi (LSE: AWE), a global leader in high-speed
connectivity and compute silicon for the world’s technology
infrastructure, has joined the newly formed Ultra Accelerator Link
Consortium™ (UALink™).
With the emergence of accelerated compute infrastructure to
enable AI workloads spanning compute, training and inference, new
purpose-built scale-up networks are required to scale data center
infrastructure to meet the specialized compute demands that
general-purpose systems are falling short to meet.
UALink is an open industry standardized fabric interconnect for
accelerator-to-accelerator communication designed to deliver
low-latency and high-bandwidth interface to meet the needs of
scale-up AI infrastructure, facilitating the coherency of
operations between large nodes of AI accelerators.
The interface pools up to 1,024 XPUs into a single node with a
latency of less than 100 ns pin-to-pin and supports data transfer
at up to 224 Gbps per lane. By optimizing the data and transaction
layers, UALink significantly reduces die area, power and overhead
compared to other solutions.
The Consortium membership unites expertise from hyperscalers,
system OEMs, accelerator and switch developers; Alphawave Semi
plans on bringing its leadership in connectivity subsystems and
chiplets to the consortium. The UALink Consortium was incorporated
in October 2024 by a coalition of leading AI technology companies,
including AMD, Amazon Web Services, Cisco, Google, HPE, Intel, Meta
and Microsoft.
Letizia Giuliano, Alphawave Semi’s VP of IP Product Marketing
said, "Alphawave Semi is at the forefront of connectivity for AI
and HPC, and by working with the UALink Consortium we will deliver
our industry leading performance in connectivity solutions for
timely, practical solutions to our customers to form the backbone
of AI infrastructure."
The UALink 1.0 specification will be available in Q1 2025.
