Скачать или смотреть Beyond the Spec What it Takes to Deploy UALink at Rack Scale

Ahmad Danesh Associate VP, Product Management - Astera Labs, Chris Petersen Fellow of Technology and Solution Architecture - Astera Labs

  Momentum is accelerating for UALink, with the Consortium now exceeding 100 member companies and the release of the UALink 200G 1.0 specification in April 2025. However, delivering a truly robust ecosystem requires far more than a specification. As demand in scale-up AI grows, hyperscalers and cloud service providers are asking a pressing question what can we do to accelerate deployment of a rack-scale UALink solution? This session will explore what it takes to bring a new fabric technology like UALink to life, including essential silicon, system designs, RAS features, comprehensive management software, and compliance-interoperability testing. Together with our partners, Astera Labs will offer a practical perspective on the critical workstreams and best practices that will transform UALink from a promising standard into deployed hardware and software infrastructure.
