About Us

Packet Five Networks Limited

PacketFive is an independent AI/HPC research and development laboratory.

Our Mission

PacketFive is an independent AI/HPC research and development laboratory. We are not trading commercially at this stage. We sell no products, services or support, and we have no customers.

Our output, including code, training material and reference implementations, is published under the Apache License 2.0, so anyone is free to use it, in research or in commercial work.

PacketFive is an independent research and development laboratory working at the intersection of AI infrastructure, high-performance computing and networking. Our motto is to develop novel technologies that shape the future of AI/HPC, and to make them openly available, so the entire industry can build, learn and innovate faster.

We focus on three complementary programmes. Cnuas, a 100% software-emulated AI/HPC datacenter that lets anyone experiment with the full stack of GPUs, fabrics, NICs and switches, without a million-dollar lab. HiCAIN, our academic courses & training programme that builds the skills modern AI clusters demand. And TORUS, which secures the physical facilities those clusters live in.

What We Stand For

๐ŸŒ

Open by Default

Core technology, training material and reference implementations are open-source first. Open accelerates the entire industry.

๐Ÿ”ฌ

Research Driven

Our engineering culture is rooted in academic rigour. We publish our work, engage with the research community, and build on proven science.

๐Ÿค

Community First

We collaborate with educators, HPC practitioners and AI infrastructure teams, and contribute back to upstream Linux, RDMA, and HPC communities.
