Ultra Ethernet Consortium

Thank you to John Marshall (AMD), Venkat Pullela (Keysight), and Shu Zhuang (Anritsu) for representing the Ultra Ethernet Consortium (UEC) at The Xcelerated Compute Show. Over two days, the event brought together the people shaping what comes next across AI infrastructure, hyperscale compute, and the systems that support them. The level of engagement, the quality of the conversations, and the energy throughout the event reflected the importance of this moment for the broader #AIInfrastructure ecosystem. A special thank you to Venkat Pullela for his presentation, “Ultra Ethernet Consortium,” and for helping articulate the project’s work and direction. We appreciate the time, effort, and expertise that John, Venkat, and Shu contributed in support of UEC’s presence at the event. #UltraEthernetConsortium #XceleratedCompute #Ethernet

Join Ultra Ethernet Consortium at The Xcelerated Compute Show! We are less than a week away from The Xcelerated Compute Show in New York City. UEC is proud to see Venkat Pullela, a key leader within our Technical Advisory Committee, taking the stage this Tuesday, March 24. AI scale and efficiency are the challenges of our time, and UEC is meeting them head-on. Don’t miss Venkat this Tuesday as he shares our vision for the future of high-density compute. As AI workloads demand unprecedented scale and efficiency, the mission of the Ultra Ethernet Consortium has never been more critical. Event: The Xcelerated Compute Show Location: New York City Date: Tuesday, March 24 We look forward to seeing our members and partners there to discuss how we are building the next generation of Ethernet for the AI era. #UltraEthernet #UEC #AI #HighPerformanceComputing #XceleratedCompute #Networking

🎉 UEC’s 2025 Year-End Letter Is Here! What a milestone year for the Ultra Ethernet Consortium. From the official release of UEC Specification 1.0 to a rapidly expanding ecosystem of members, contributors, and partners, 2025 marked a major step forward in building an Ethernet-based, high-performance network for AI and HPC at scale. This year’s letter from UEC Chair J Metz reflects on: 🚀 The significance of releasing Spec 1.0 🔧 Early ecosystem adoption across major industry players 📈 Momentum on upcoming spec enhancements (congestion management, small-message performance, in-network collectives, and more) 📖 Read the 2025 Year-End Letter: https://lnkd.in/e4jSmSzD #UltraEthernet #AI #HPC

📣 UEC is at SC25 - join us at Booth 211! Come meet the community, learn about UEC Spec 1.0, and explore what’s ahead for open, high-performance AI networking. #SC25 #SuperCompute #UEC #AI #HPC

UEC is at #SC25! From UEC’s joint BoF presentation with UALink - where Torsten Hoefler 🇨🇭 explore how next-generation, open fabrics are reshaping AI networking. The session breaks down the architectural challenges behind today’s AI workloads and how UEC Spec 1.0 and UALink are each addressing the performance, latency, and scalability demands of an open, AI-driven ecosystem. #UESpec1 #UEC #UltraEthernet #HPC #AI

This month, Ultra Ethernet Consortium Steering Member Broadcom has introduced the Thor Ultra, an 800G AI Ethernet NIC fully compliant with the Ultra Ethernet Consortium specification. (https://lnkd.in/eVMD49yb) This launch marks an important step for the UEC ecosystem, showing how open Ethernet standards can drive performance and scalability for AI workloads while giving organizations flexibility across XPUs, optics, and switches. Check out the full UEC blog for details, plus Broadcom’s official press release and recent media coverage from ServeTheHome and SDxCentral. https://lnkd.in/eVMD49yb #AI #HPC #UltraEthernet

AI is redefining what networks must deliver, and Ethernet is stepping up to meet the challenge. In a new cross-posted blog, Rudy Hoebeke (Nokia) explores how the Ultra Ethernet Consortium (#UEC) is driving the next evolution of Ethernet for AI and HPC at scale. UEC’s Specification 1.0 introduces advanced load balancing, congestion control, and built-in security, addressing the pain points that limit performance in large-scale AI clusters. 💡 Read how Nokia and UEC are shaping the future of open and interoperable Ethernet for AI: https://lnkd.in/erJTq37Y #UltraEthernetConsortium #AIInfrastructure #Ethernet #OpenStandards #NetworkingInnovation
