SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--A group of industry-leading networking, semiconductor, and optics companies announce the formation of the LPO MSA (Linear Pluggable Optics Multi-Source Agreement) to develop the specifications for networking equipment and optical modules required to enable a broad ecosystem of interoperable LPO solutions. These specifications target the industry-wide challenge of reducing the power, cost, and latency, while improving the reliability of high-speed optical interconnects.
（美國商業(yè)資訊，3月21日發(fā)自圣地亞哥）一組行業(yè)領(lǐng)先的網(wǎng)絡(luò)、半導(dǎo)體和光學(xué)公司宣布成立LPO MSA（線性可插拔光學(xué)多源協(xié)議）旨在開發(fā)網(wǎng)絡(luò)設(shè)備和光學(xué)模塊的規(guī)范，以支撐一個(gè)廣泛的、能夠互聯(lián)互通的LPO解決方案生態(tài)系統(tǒng)。這些規(guī)范致力于解決整個(gè)行業(yè)面臨的挑戰(zhàn)：降低功耗、成本和延遲，同時(shí)提高高速光互連的可靠性。
“LPO materially reduces power consumption both for the module and the system while maintaining a pluggable interface, providing the economics and flexibility that customers need for high-volume deployments.”
“LPO在保持可插拔接口的同時(shí)，顯著降低了模塊和系統(tǒng)的功耗，為客戶提供了高容量部署所需的經(jīng)濟(jì)性和靈活性。”
The LPO MSA founding members include Accelink, AMD, Arista, Broadcom, Cisco, Eoptolink, Hisense, Innolight, Intel, MACOM, NVIDIA, and Semtech Corporation.
LPO MSA創(chuàng)始成員包括Accelink、AMD、Arista、Broadcom、Cisco、Eotolink、Hisense、Innolight、Intel、MACOM、NVIDIA和Semtech Corporation。
The initial target of the MSA is an optimized optical interconnect with LPO modules on both ends of the link. The LPO MSA specifications will define the electrical and optical requirements to ensure interoperability between multiple vendors of networking equipment and optics modules.
MSA的初步目標(biāo)是優(yōu)化在連接兩端都使用LPO模塊的光互連。LPO MSA規(guī)范將定義電氣和光學(xué)要求，以確保多個(gè)網(wǎng)絡(luò)設(shè)備和光模塊供應(yīng)商之間的互操作性。
“There is an urgent need to reduce the network power consumption for AI and other high-performance applications,” said Mark Nowell, LPO MSA Chair. “LPO materially reduces power consumption both for the module and the system while maintaining a pluggable interface, providing the economics and flexibility that customers need for high-volume deployments.”
LPO MSA主席Mark Nowell表示：“對(duì)于人工智能和其他高性能應(yīng)用程序，迫切需要降低網(wǎng)絡(luò)功耗。LPO在保持可插拔接口的同時(shí)，顯著降低了模塊和系統(tǒng)的功耗，為客戶提供了高容量部署所需的經(jīng)濟(jì)性和靈活性。”
“The LPO MSA will enable a multi-source ecosystem for LPO optics modules which is essential for wide industry adoption,” said Andreas Bechtolsheim, Co-Chair LPO MSA. “We look forward to supporting the LPO MSA specifications.”
LPO MSA聯(lián)合主席Andreas Bechtolsheim表示：“LPO MSA將為LPO光模塊啟用一個(gè)多源生態(tài)系統(tǒng)，LPO MSA將為LPO光學(xué)模塊提供多源生態(tài)系統(tǒng)，這對(duì)廣泛的行業(yè)采用至關(guān)重要，我們期待支持LPO MSA規(guī)范。”
