But if we look at real-time communication (RTC) applications, while the video quality also has improved over time, it has always lagged behind that of camera quality. Improving video quality for low-bandwidth networks This post is going to focus on peer-to-peer (P2P, or 1:1) calls, which involve two participants.

Networking and bandwidth play an important role in ensuring the clusters’ performance. Our systems consist of a tightly integrated HPC compute system and an isolated high-bandwidth compute network that connects all our GPUs and domain-specific accelerators. Building AI clusters requires more than just GPUs.
