Moving Beyond 200 Gb/s Signaling and the Future of AI Systems

Thursday, 03 April, 13:45 – 14:45

Theater I

Session Description:

The industry is anticipating the IEEE P802.3dj 200 Gb/s, 400 Gb/s, 800 Gb/s, and 1.6 Tb/s Ethernet Task Force to release 200 Gb/s electrical and optical signaling. AI is suddenly driving the demand for high-performance fabrics and networks. The 802.3 standard is poised to play a key role in the next generation of AI systems and networks, specifically through upcoming scale-up and scale-out network fabrics. Even as the industry awaits IEEE802.3dj, the pace and growth of AI are pushing the industry to ask, "What is next?" 

Join this panel as industry leaders from relevant organizations explore the possible needs and challenges (and maybe some unintended consequences, too) of a next-generation data rate to support oncoming AI trends. They will also discuss the questions that will be explored as the industry moves beyond 200 Gb/s signaling.
