The "Ultra Accelerator Link," is an attempt to establish an open standard for communication between artificial intelligence accelerators - systems that can help process the vast amounts of data employed in AI tasks.
Tech giants like Google and Meta are keen to reduce their dependence on Nvidia, whose networking business forms an essential part of the package that enables its AI dominance.
"An industry specification becomes critical to standardize the interface for AI and Machine Learning, HPC (high-performance computing), and Cloud applications for the next generation of AI data centers and implementations," the companies said in a statement.
The Ultra Accelerator Link group has designed specifications governing connections among different accelerators in a data center.
