Consortium Working Groups

The HyperTransport™ Consortium is currently comprised of two standing Working Groups, the Technical Working Group and the Marketing Working Group. The Working Groups act in an advisory capacity to the Executive Committee.

Both the Technical Working Group and the Marketing Working Group coordinate, review, authorize, approve or disapprove such activities as proposed and carried out by its assigned Task Forces. Final decisions are voted on by the Executive Committee.

Technical Working Group

The function of the Technical Working Group is to provide a forum for the coordination, review, approval or disapproval of all architectural matters relating to the HyperTransport Technology Specification. The Technical Working Group is composed of a chairperson, nominated by the Executive Committee and the chairpersons of all Technical Task Forces.

Technical Task Forces are formed, under the direction of the Technical Working Group, to drive the development activities of the HyperTransport specification, manage specification maintenance issues and advise the Technical Working Group when amendments are required to policies and procedures.

Marketing Working Group

The Marketing Working Group is responsible for promoting HyperTransport Technology and the HyperTransport Technology Consortium. The Marketing Working Group is responsible for all marketing and public communications activities of the Consortium, however, all positioning and any official collateral must be approved by the Executive Committee. The Marketing Working Group coordinates our memberships, joint participation in HyperTransport Technology Consortium press releases, trade show exhibitions, conference presentations and oversees the HyperTransport web site.
