Huawei and IEEE Kazakhstan Subsection jointly release the HPC Lossless Ethernet and AI Fabric Network Technical White Paper | June 7, 2023

"Huawei and the IEEE Kazakhstan Subsection have jointly released a white paper that sheds light on lossless Ethernet, a network solution that promotes high-performance computing (HPC) and AI scenarios thanks to its unrivaled advantages in network performance compatibility, cost-effectiveness and flexibility. The report, titled HPC Lossless Ethernet and AI Fabric Network Technical White Paper, was launched at the Huawei Network Summit, which took place on the first day of the annual flagship Huawei Middle East & Central Asia (ME&CA) Tech Carnival, which is taking place in Almaty, Kazakhstan for the first time, from June 5 - 7. Under the 'Leading Digital Infrastructure for New Value Together' theme, Huawei's ME&CA Tech Carnival brings together industry opinion leaders to explore the infinite possibilities of digitalization. In attendance at the launch ceremony of the white paper were Arthur Wang, President of the Data Center Network Domain, Huawei Data Communication Product Line, Dr. Carlo Molardi, IEEE Kazakhstan Subsection, Liu Gui, Vice President of Enterprise Business Group, Huawei Middle East & Central Asia Region; and Fahem Al Nuaimi, CEO, Ankabut, the United Arab Emirates.

Around the world, many countries and regions are proactively formulating policies conducive to developing HPC and AI to promote digital transformation and lossless Ethernet is and will keep playing a key role in these efforts. For example, Saudi Arabia has formulated Saudi Vision 2030, aiming to develop HPC and AI technologies to improve global competitiveness. It also established the King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology (KACST) to support the R&D of HPC and AI projects. Qatar also released National Vision 2030 to propel HPC and AI technologies. The Qatar Computing Research Institute is Qatar's foremost research institute focusing on HPC and AI with the mission to promote technological innovation. The UAE also established the National AI Strategy 2031 and appointed the world's first Minister for AI.

Ankabut, UAE's advanced research and education network (NREN), has adopted lossless Ethernet in its supercomputing center to provide computing services for 35 educational institutions and 80 colleges and universities and support research in fields such as meteorological prediction and modeling, life sciences, fluid mechanics and oil exploration.

Dr. Fahem Al Nuaimi, CEO of Ankabut, said, "Ankabut wants to play its role in promoting cutting-edge research and development and collaboration for member institutions and the country. An advanced network is crucial for this role. Working with partners like Huawei, we can create a future-proof network that helps advance our mission of making UAE universities leaders in research."  ..."
