Assessing AI Storage Communication Performance At Scale

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on

How do we assess the performance of AI network and storage infrastructure that is critical to the successful deployment of today's complex AI training and inferencing engines? And is it possible to do this without needing to provision racks of expensive GPU Capex? This presentation discusses methodologies and considerations in performing such assessments. We look at different topologies, host and network side considerations and metrics. The performance aspects of NICs/SmartNICs, storage offload processing, switches and interconnects are examined.
