OCP Webinar: Optical Interconnect for Large Scale AI Clusters
Date: Wednesday, September 4, 2024
Time: 07:00 AM PT
Duration: 1 Hour
Description: Data and computation are fundamental to the success of AI, which is why hyperscale data center operators are racing to build ever larger accelerator-based compute clusters. The market jolt caused by LLMs and ChatGPT has further accelerated the race. Scaling clusters requires innovation across many domains: the accelerator chips, their linkages within a node, the fabrics linking the nodes, whether InfiniBand or Ethernet-based, and their topology. The input-output (I/O) growth of each new generation of accelerator and the growth of bandwidth that needs to escape a compute node means using optical I/O is a matter of time. Each hyperscale operator has its preference; some back co-packaged optics (CPO), while others favor pluggable optics. But the use of optics continues to grow in such clusters. For example, Google uses its optical circuit switches as part of its TPU v4 accelerator-based AI compute clusters to reduce cost and improve system reliability and flexibility. And Broadcom has already developed CPO-based Tomahawk Ethernet switches; its latest Jericho3-AI chip developed to scale AI compute clusters can now also be CPO-based. This webinar will discuss the challenges of scaling AI clusters as well as the emerging solutions for improving optical I/O density, bandwidth and power efficiency.

OCP Webinar: Evolving DC Networking for Hybrid AI Deployments
Date: Thursday, September 19, 2024
Time: 11:00 AM ET
Duration: 1 Hour
Description: The emergence of generative AI applications marks a new era for AI. The challenge, however, is that the characteristics of AI traffic are unique and quite distinct from the rest of the traffic carried by today’s data center network. The resulting data center build out is causing the need for a rethink of the data center network and strategies for deploying AI workloads in hybrid clouds. Once built predominantly in hyperscale operated clouds, enterprises are now investing in on-prem, private AI data centers for local AI processing. This webinar will explore different network fabric options and network design approaches to meet these new on-premises and hybrid cloud AI driven requirements and discuss the size of the potential market opportunity for AI-tuned DC networks.
Data Center Anti Conference | DCAC
Dates: September 24 - 25, 2024
Location: Austin, TX | ACL Live at Moody Theater
Now entering its eighth year and expanding to a two-day summit, DCAC is disrupting the traditional conference model to focus on the emerging technologies driving compute demand.
With AI, autonomous vehicles, IoT, immersive gaming, VR/AR, smart city technologies, and wearables on the horizon, we are on the cusp of a societal and economic transformation. And at the heart of this transformation are data centers. Effective leadership is crucial for any revolution, and DCAC is inviting you to join us as we journey back to the future of the data center.
