Huida signed an NVLink fusion cooperation memorandum with SK Telecom and Rebellion in Seoul to promote heterogeneous integration of domestic NPU and GPU; At the same time, there was no reaction to Huang Renxun’s related controversies at the scene.
Huida (NVIDIA ), SK Telecom and Rebellion signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on NVLink Fusion today in Seoul. AlthoughJen-Hsun Huang His daughter Huang Minshan temporarily canceled her trip to South Korea, and Huang Renxun was also involved in controversies such as his close relationship with a suspected Chinese female spy. However, Huida did not comment on the relevant controversy at the scene today.
South Korea’s Ministry of Science, Technology, Information and Communications issued a press release today, saying that the signing ceremony was attended by Lee Do-kyu (transliteration), Director of the Information and Communications Policy Office of the Ministry of Science and Technology, Raymond Teh, Senior Vice President of HUIDA, and others. The Ministry of Science and Technology said this MoU is part of ongoing talks with HUDA to connect Korean domestic NPUs with NVLink fusion technology.
According to the cooperation materials, SK Telecom will use HUDA’s NVLink fusion technology as the basis to integrate Rebellion’s NPU and HUDA GPU in the process of building an AI data center (AIDC) to form a heterogeneous AI computing system in the future. NVLink Fusion is a platform launched by Huida that supports the integration of external partners’ accelerators into Huida’s AI computing system.
The Ministry of Science and Technology said that the significance of this cooperation is that the domestic NPU is no longer limited to independent technology research and development, but is integrated into the HUDA system architecture that leads the global AI computing market. Korean AI semiconductor companies are expected to expand the scope of product applications through the global AI computing platform and gain opportunities for technology verification and commercialization in the international market.
Especially with the increasing demand for AI inference in recent years, heterogeneous computing combining GPU and NPU has gradually become an important development direction for the next generation of AI infrastructure. The Ministry of Science pointed out that the integration of domestic NPU and HUDA system is expected to help companies enter the AI data center market and gain new business opportunities in the AI inference market that value computing performance, cost and energy efficiency.
The Ministry of Science and Technology said it will continue to provide support so that this cooperation is not limited to the rebels but can also be extended to other domestic NPU companies.
The Ministry of Science and Technology said that in order to truly translate the opportunities arising from cooperation with global companies into the development of the domestic AI semiconductor industry, the government will not only focus on technology research and development and efficiency improvement, but also establish an industrial ecosystem covering real verification, commercialization and export, and actively strengthen the global competitiveness of domestic AI semiconductors.
In addition, according to Yonhap News Agency, Huida did not respond to the scene today in response to controversies such as Huang Minshan temporarily canceling his trip to South Korea and Huang Renxun’s admission of an intimate relationship with a Chinese woman accused of being a spy.
