The OIF's Energy Efficient Interfaces (EEI) Framework, which got underway in May 2023, is studying new energy-efficient electrical and optical interfaces (which, among others, includes the next generation of low power optics, also referred to as “Linear” or “Direct Drive”). Nathan Tracy, President from OIF, shows the demo at #OFC24:
- The importance of the Energy Efficient Interfaces (EII) project, which aims to outline the requirements of an AI fabric interface and the trade-offs to consider for interoperable solutions.
- The demonstration of an Ethernet frontend switch that integrates real-world accelerators and future view versions of accelerator cards, showcasing the potential of electrical and optical interconnects working together.
- The ongoing efforts in the OIF to understand the requirements for different links, quantify them, and develop industry-standard solutions for full interoperability in an AI/ML fabric.
