DriveNets and Accton Technology Launch the Highest-Performance Ethernet-Based AI Networking Solution in the Industry with New Open Networking White Boxes Based on Broadcom Jericho-3-AI ASIC DriveNets and Accton Technology announced the successful testing and launch of two new white boxes based on Broadcom's Jericho-3-AI and Ramon-3 ASICs. DriveNets and Accton are the first companies to make the white boxes with the new Broadcom ASICs available for commercial AI networking use. The solution combines the proven high-scale software from DriveNets and white boxes from Accton, and supports AI and ML clusters with up to 32K GPUs connected with 800Gbps interfaces. The white boxes are based on the OCP DDC (Distributed Disaggregated Chassis) scheduled fabric architecture, offering a scalable solution that is fast and easy to deploy and can grow with a company's needs. This architecture successfully passed POC's with Tier 1 AI customers. The solution addresses the growing needs of hyperscalers building huge GPU clusters, as well as enterprises building large AI clusters with 1,000s of GPUs. The new Accton white boxes consist of: NCP-5 (AcctonASA926-18XKE), based on Broadcom'sJeron-3 ASIC, supporting 18 network ports of 800Gbps and 20 fabric ports of 800Gbps; NCF-2 (AcctonAS9936-128D), based on Broadcom's Ramon-3 ASIC supporting 128 fabric ports of 800Gbps. Prior to launch, the white boxes underwent rigorous testing in Accton's lab in Taiwan with NCP-5s, NCF-2s, Spirent AI workload emulation solution and Intel Gaud servers with 32 GPUs in a cluster running with BERT and ResNet models. The test results showed more than 30% better Job Completion Time (JCT) performance compared to Ethernet Clos architecture. This testing highlights the architecture's superiority of a DDC scheduled fabric over other Ethernet solutions and is on par with InfiniBand. The industry's first AI workload emulation solution provided by Spirent generates real-world AI traffic patterns at scale using RoCEv2 transport and with integrated Collective Communications Library (CCL) support, to identify issues that can lead to network congestion, higher latency and lower throughput. The solution reduces the complexity and effort required for validating AI infrastructures by providing repeatable testing and actionable metrics such as Job Completion Time (J CT), tail latency, algorithm and bus bandwidth, to intuitively diagnose performance and efficiency issues at a fraction of the cost compared to building real xPU systems. DriveNets and AcCTon will present the testing and its results at the2024 OCP Global Summit, October 15-17 in San Jose, CA. Buy Or Sell Opportunity • Oct 14

Accton Announces 800G-Optimized Products That Provide Ethernet and Voq Fabrics for Ai/Ml Workloads Accton Technology Corporation announced a series of 800G-optimized products that can provide Ethernet-based fabric and Virtual Output Queue (VoQ) based fabric for AI/ML workloads. The announcement includes a 2RU 51.2 Tbps Ethernet-based fabric system with 64x800G ports, a 4RU 51.2 Tbps Ethernet-based fabric system with 128x400G ports, and a VoQ-based fabric Distributed Disaggregated Chassis (DDC) architecture with a 128x800G Network Cloud Fabric (NCF) engine. The hype of generative AI has drastically accelerated the size and network bandwidth required in AI/ML clusters with the number of compute nodes and accelerators growing significantly. AI networks require high-capacity systems in a flat architecture that can handle large amounts of data with low latency and high throughput. To meet the demands of AI/ML workloads, either Ethernet-based fabrics or VoQ-based fabrics are being adopted to reduce job completion time. Accton's 51.2 Tbps Broadcom StrataXGS(R) Tomahawk(R) 5 series-based system with 64x800G or 128x400G ports provides a high-radix, deployment-friendly Ethernet-fabric. The 2RU system design is robust and packed in a compact form factor with power and fan tray redundancy to achieve five-nines high availability and a wide environmental operating range for data center cloud applications. With a design that does not use flyover cables, the system offers known good system quality and reliability while preserving the port assignment flexibility for customers. The platform comes in two variants, OSFP800 or QSFP-DD800 interface options, for flexible deployment supporting passive copper DAC on all ports and long-distance ZR+ optics. The 4RU 51.2 Tbps Tomahawk 5 series-based 128x400G system provides high-radix 200G/400G QSFP112 (compatible with QSFP56 and QSFP28) connectivity to accelerators and compute nodes in a flat architecture that reduces latency and required power, which enables networks to be scaled-out sustainably. Accton's Broadcom StrataDNX(TM) Jericho3-AI and StrataDNX(TM) Ramon3 systems are designed to form a VoQ-based fabric DDC Network Cloud Cluster that is optimized to support AI/ML applications. The Broadcom Jericho3-AI based Network Cloud Packet Forwarder (NCP) supports a 14.4 Tbps full-duplex switching and features 18x800G OSFP network interface ports and 20x800G OSFP fabric interface ports. The Broadcom Ramon3-based Network Cloud Fabric (NCF) engine supports a 51.2 Tbpsswitching capacity. The cell-based switching eliminates the Ethernet overhead and can effectively load balance all fabric links to build an efficient and high-availability DDC cluster. With Accton's 6RU, dual-Ramon3, 128x800G (dual-51.2 Tbps) fabric port switch and 2RU, Jericho3-AI, 18x800G (14.4 Tbps leaf) Ethernet network interface port switch, customers can build a 32K-GPU 800G/400G AI/ML cluster with a two-stage DDC network architecture to enable 400G GPU clusters now and migrate to 800G GPU clusters later with a software upgrade without replacing the switches. This provides excellent cost saving and investment protection that reduces capital spending while providing the flexibility for customers to "pay as you grow" without large upfront cost to enable AI and ML applications. Accton takes the hardware design further for the dual-Ramon3 system by optimizing the port mapping within the box, achieving traffic load balancing that accommodates extreme traffic conditions. The innovative design approach reduces the restrictions for network architects to balance traffic loads. With more than thirty years of networking equipment design experience, Accton's Ramon3 and Jericho3-AI systems offer much lower system power consumption, reduced latency, minimized port-to-port timing skews, and high manufacturability with no flyover cables. AvailabilityAccton's Tomahawk-based Ethernet fabric has already achieved First Customer Shipment (FCS) in July. The Jericho3/Ramon3 VoQ-based fabric will achieve General Availability (GA) in Fourth Quarter 2023. Product Details are available at website. New Risk • Aug 25
New major risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 90% of Taiwanese stocks, typically moving 8.4% a week. This is considered a major risk. Share price volatility increases the risk of potential losses in the short-term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. It may also indicate the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company. Valuation Update With 7 Day Price Move • Aug 22
