Astera Labs debuts new Scorpio smart fabric data center switch to scale up AI compute clusters. Networking chip company Astera Labs Inc. is trying to ease the traffic congestion in artificial intelligence data centers with the launch of the latest generation of its Scorpio smart data fabric switch family, the X-series. According to the company, it's the largest open and "memory-semantic" fabric switch in the industry, designed to help hyperscale data center operators scale up their compute capacity while avoiding latency issues. The new switch is being launched alongside an expanded Scorpio P-Series PCIe Fabric Switch family, which now comes in configurations ranging from 32 lanes to 320 lanes. It says it's giving data center architects more flexibility as they struggle to shuffle massive streams of data between clusters of AI processors. Astera Labs says the new switches will play a vital role in scaling AI system. As the world's leading large language models evolve into multitrillion-parameter behemoths, it's no longer possible to squeeze them into a single server rack. The only way to run these kinds of models is to link hundreds or even thousands of graphics processing units into enormous clusters so they can work together as a single, giant computer. This has become the standard way for AI data centers to operate, but it also causes immense congestion as data...
