AI is accelerating at a pace few industries have ever witnessed. Every six months, model sizes are doubling, workloads are scaling across thousands of GPUs, and the demands on compute infrastructure are surging beyond anything imagined even a few years ago.

PCIe technology is set to be leveraged as an important component in the AI infrastructure marketplace.

As the application space for PCI Express® (PCIe®) cabling has grown, PCI-SIG® has kept up the pace to meet industry needs for high-speed cabling solutions. In this blog, we answer some common questions about PCIe cabling and the recently released CopprLink™ cables.

Servers are challenged to process more intricate and diverse types of workloads in cloud, hybrid-cloud and enterprise data centers.

Advanced IP Design for PCI Express® Technology

By Scott Knowlton, PCI-SIG MWG Co-Chair

With the widespread adoption of compute-intensive workloads – such as artificial intelligence and machine learning – in enterprise and cloud data centers, high-speed, low-latency interconnects like PCI Express^® architecture are required to connect high-performance nodes.

PCI-SIG has built its reputation on delivering high quality PCI Express^® (PCIe) specifications that have doubled bandwidth on average every three years, while maintaining full backwards compatibility with prior generations.
