Optimal connectivity between GPUs: Large-scale model training involves transferring vast amounts of data between GPUs in a synchronized fashion. Solving this problem requires a robust and high-speed network infrastructure as well as efficient data transfer protocols and algorithms. Both of these options had tradeoffs.

This backend fabric utilizes the RoCEv2 protocol, which encapsulates the RDMA service in UDP packets for transport over the network. Initially, our GPU clusters used a simple star topology with a few AI racks connected to a central Ethernet switch running the non-routable RoCEv1 protocol.

Compression, in the context of WAN acceleration, typically operates at the byte-level and works in a similar fashion to file compression but applies to data in transit. Protocol acceleration techniques improve protocol operation across the network, particularly in terms of reducing the latency introduced by inefficient protocol operation.

In order to facilitate this functionality the underlying protocol needs to ensure qualities such as offline status, different consumer rates, high throughput, low latency and elasticity (amongst others). In some cases, it is desirable to hide these protocol concerns. In such cases we recommend the StreamProcessor approach.
