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) 聯盟已正式成立，這意味著它現已成為一個法人實體。

該聯盟致力于為人工智能數據中心的服務器之間的高速、低延遲通信創建新標準，董事會成員來自 AMD、英特爾、Meta、惠普企業、亞馬遜網絡服務 (AWS)、Astera Labs、思科、谷歌和微軟。該聯盟還在尋找新的貢獻者成員。

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 加速器擴展連接的行業開放標準，并成為 Nvidia 專有 NVLink 的競爭對手。

NVLink是 Nvidia 針對服務器或服務器 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）來實現更高級別的擴展。

Infiniband 正受到新來者Ultra Ethernet的挑戰，后者是另一個由科技巨頭組成的主要聯盟，創建了一個開放標準來對抗 Nvidia 的主導地位。

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 聯盟主席 Willie Nelson 也為新公司和團體的加入敞開了大門。

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