The OCP Global Summit, taking place October 13–16, 2025, in San Jose, CA, brings together the world’s leading technologists, developers, and innovators to share ideas, collaborate, and shape the future of open hardware and software.
This year, the UALink Consortium is proud to sponsor OCP Global Summit, highlighting how UALink, an open standard for AI scale-up networking, can unlock scalable, efficient, and interoperable AI infrastructure.
Why UALink Matters for the OCP Community
As AI models continue to grow, data centers require increasing amounts of available compute and memory to efficiently execute training and inference. UALink was formed to meet the escalating computing demands of AI applications. The open standard enables interoperability among multiple accelerators and switch vendors, helping industry leaders focus on innovation within a structured framework and accelerate market entry. Earlier this year, the UALink Consortium and OCP announced a collaboration to establish a framework to optimize scale-up interconnect for AI and HPC clusters.
