Validating UPLI Protocol Across Topologies with Cadence UALink VIP

The UPLI (UALink Protocol Level Interface) is a logical signaling interface that facilitates communication between devices—specifically between originator devices (which initiate transactions) and completer devices (which respond to them). Each transaction comprises a request and a corresponding response, forming a complete communication cycle. Cadence UALink VIP supports various topologies to verify UPLI layer of DUT.

Powering Scale Up and Scale Out with 224G SerDes for UALink and Ultra Ethernet

At the recent ECOC 2025 conference in Copenhagen, Cadence showcased its key role in enabling the future of AI infrastructure with live silicon demonstrations of several essential IP technologies for emerging 800G and 1.6T networks. Powered by Cadence's 224G SerDes IP, Cadence's Ultra Accelerator Link (UALink 1.0) scale-up and Ultra Ethernet scale-out networking solutions deliver the performance, flexibility, and interoperability needed for next-generation AI factories and hyperscale data centers.

How Ultra Ethernet And UALink Enable High-Performance, Scalable AI Networks

This article delves into the technical aspects of how scaling up and out is becoming a critical need for HPC and AI chip developers, and how new standards such as Ultra Ethernet and Ultra Accelerator Link (UALink) aim to tackle the challenges of high-bandwidth, low-latency connectivity and efficient resource management.
