Re-Engineering Ethernet for AI Fabric

[SPONSORED GUEST ARTICLE]   For years, InfiniBand has been the go-to networking technology for high-performance computing (HPC) and AI workloads due to its low latency and lossless transport. But as AI clusters grow to thousands of GPUs and demand open, scalable infrastructure, the industry is shifting. Leading AI infrastructure providers are increasingly moving ….

Re-Engineering Ethernet for AI Fabric

Ethernet wasn’t built with AI in mind. While cost-effective and ubiquitous, its best-effort, packet-based nature creates challenges in AI clusters… But fabric-scheduled Ethernet transforms Ethernet into a predictable, lossless, scalable fabric – ideal for AI. It uses cell spraying and virtual output queuing ….
