Description
Remote Direct Memory Access is a technology that enables two networked computers to exchange data in main memory without relying on the processor, cache or operating system of either computer. GPUDirect RDMA is a technology that enables a direct path for data exchange between the GPU and a third-party peer device using standard features of PCI Express.
GPUDirect-TCPX is a custom and open-source remote direct memory access (RDMA) networking stack that increases the network performance of your accelerator VMs by allowing data packet payloads to transfer directly from GPU memory to the network interface without having to go through the CPU and system memory.
In the era of AI/ML and HPC, where data-intensive workloads demand optimal performance, maximizing network efficiency is crucial. Traditional TCP often struggles to keep up with the high throughput and low latency requirements of modern compute-intensive applications. This session delves into how GPUDirect-TCPX, a custom and open-source networking stack, revolutionizes network performance by optimizing RDMA (Remote Direct Memory Access) and GPU-Direct communication.
By the end of this session, participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of how TCPX unlocks the full potential of RDMA and GPU-Direct, empowering them to build faster, more efficient networks that meet the growing demands of data-intensive applications.
