NVIDIA GTC 2025: Credo and XConn to Showcasing GPU Cluster

Credo Technology Group Holding Ltd. working with XConn Technologies Holdings, Inc., announced a public demonstration of multi-vendor PCIe 5.0 interoperability featuring the 2 companies’ technology at the NVIDIA GTC 2025 conference.

The demonstration features the Credo Toucan based OSFP-XD PCIe Active Electrical Cables (AECs) with an XConn 256-lane PCIe 5.0 Apollo switch in an advanced AI cluster running a Hugging Face Llama LLM (Large Language Model) inference workload. Credo AECs will connect 10 NVIDIA H100 GPUs to the server through the XConn switch.

This live showcase marks the first public showing of the Credo PCI Express Gen5 AEC in a high-performance AI environment.

“NVIDIA GTC is the industry’s most important conference with respect to AI advancements and Credo is thrilled to showcase our PCIe solutions at the show,” said Phil Kumin, AVP, product for PCIe/CXL, Credo. “Our latest PCIe5/6 and CXL innovations, including the Toucan retimer and our OSFP-XD AECs, are engineered to redefine connectivity in next generation data centers with GPU architectures. By delivering outstanding performance and efficiency, we are empowering our customers with new scale-up and scale-out capabilities. The collaboration with XConn highlights the seamless interoperability of Credo’s PCIe solutions with other leading-edge solutions.”

“XConn is proud to demonstrate the powerful capabilities of our Apollo 256-lane switch alongside Credo’s innovative OSFP-XD PCIe AECs at this year’s NVIDIA GTC,” said Gerry Fan, CEO, XConn Technologies. “This collaboration showcases how our cutting-edge technologies can work seamlessly together to push the boundaries of AI and high-performance computing. The interoperability between the XConn Apollo switch and Credo AECs exemplifies our commitment to providing scalable, high-performance solutions that meet the rigorous demands of modern data centers and AI infrastructures.”

Credo invites all NVIDIA GTC attendees to experience the demo in booth 1810.
